SWE continues to strive to serve as a center of information on women in engineering. In addition to preserving women in engineering history through the SWE Archives, information about women in the engineering profession and related contemporary issues is available through the Society’s award-winning SWE Magazine, whose spring/summer Yearbook Issue includes an annual literature survey on women in engineering. The SWE Archives includes a full historical run of the magazine and its predecessor SWE publications.
