The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is a global organization that supports and advocates for women in engineering and technology.
“Empower women to achieve their full potential in careers as engineers and leaders; expand the image of the engineering and technology professions as a positive force in improving the quality of life, and demonstrate the value of diversity and inclusion.”

About Our Chapter
Our SWENext IC Beirut chapter is part of this global network, and we are the first in the Middle East. Our role is especially important in this context as stereotypes surrounding women in engineering are still ingrained in our society. We are a group of girls between the ages of 15 and 18, who aim to introduce students to engineering in creative, hands-on ways and show that design, innovation, and problem-solving are for everyone. Through workshops, speaker events, and collaborative projects, we discover how engineering connects to everyday life and future careers.
