Welcome to the SWE Pittsburgh Section Website!

About us:

We are an active, widely dispersed section, with a membership base that spans across Pittsburgh and into many of the surrounding areas. We provide support for women in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields at all stages in their careers - from K-12 exploration of potential careers to retired engineers looking to maintain ties and pass on their experience, and everything in between.

Meetings:

Monthly meetings are held in different areas of Pittsburgh to accommodate our member's commute times and locations.

Job Board:

A job board section in our monthly newsletter is available to area companies to help put women engineers in contact with promising roles and to put companies in contact with high quality women engineers. Submit your job listings at swe.pittsburgh@gmail.com.  

Outreach and Scholarships:

The Pittsburgh Section is very active in providing outreach. We present Certificates of Merit to female high school students who excel in mathematics and science.  We participate and/or present awards at the following events:

Engineers Week
Engineer the Future 
Future City 
Pennsylvania Regional Science and Engineering Fair

And many more….
