Society of Women Engineers Student Chapter at Humboldt State University
HSU SWE Mission Statement: To support women in science and engineering; to encourage awareness of environmental engineering and to provide opportunities for students to develop professional skills. The Society of Women Engineers encourages women to achieve full potential in careers as engineers and leaders, expands the image of the engineering profession as a positive force in improving the quality of life, and demonstrates the value of diversity.
About the Club
Students chartered a student section of the Society of Women Engineers on the campus of Humboldt State University in December 1997. In 1999, HSU won best new student section. Members have won best technical paper in the region and placed nationally. Also HSU has obtained a SWE grant for outreach. Over 150 environmental engineering students were involved in the Humboldt State SWE flume project. A flume is an interactive tool that engineers use to model water systems. The SWE flume is specifically designed for children. It is permanently housed at the Redwood Discovery Museum in Eureka, CA. Currently the club focuses on outreach and professional development of engineering students.
