General Body Meetings (GBM)
Typically, we have monthly meetings with a variety of topics such as:
- Coop/Internships
- Holiday Parties like Pumpkin Carving or Gingerbread House Decorating!
- Professional Development
- Resume/Interview workshops
- ...and much more!
Company Information Sessions
Companies come to talk
to members about activities and employment opportunities at special
meetings. We limit these information sessions to topics that affect most
of our members instead of a select few from a specific major. Therefore,
most of the company information sessions we host include a presentation
on a general topic such as networking or career fair skills that are of
interest to all of our members.
Resume CDs
Each year SWE compiles CDs with resumes from UMD Engineering students and sell these CDs to engineering companies including Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin...etc. For more information, please email us.

Keys to Empowering Youth (KEYs)
Each
semester, middle school girls participate in a Saturday Program designed
to expose young girls to the excitement of science and engineering.
While many of our SWE members volunteer and participate in this program,
it is sponsored by the Women In Engineering department (http://www.eng.umd.edu/wie/)
at UMD.
Girl Scouts Engineering Saturday (GSES)
Girl Scout Troops of all ages visit campus to work on engineering related badges once a semester. All SWE members are encouraged to participate and give back to the community! Again, this event is sponsored by the Women in Engineering program at UMD.
Discover Engineering
Purpose:
Maryland High School students participate in an Annual Saturday Program
consisting of speakers and lab experiments to explore and learn about
the different engineering disciplines
History: The original name of Discover Engineering was SWE High
School Conference. This program was started in March 1994, and was
changed to become a part of a Maryland Day Event (typically on the last
Saturday in April).
