 Society
for Computer Engineering (SCE)
The Society for Computer Engineering (SCE) is an establishment of people
in the computer engineering discipline that serves to foster a sense of
community among students, faculty, and alumni in the computer engineering
curriculum.
They offer a variety of services, which can be categorized as academic
services, career oriented events, or social activities. Unless otherwise
specified, all events occur in the SCE clubroom, E325. They also sell
CmpE124 / 127 kits.
Each semester the Society for Computer Engineering sponsors a number of
events to benefit its student members. Scheduled events are announced
during meetings, through posted flyers, and via the SCE website.
In recent years, SCE has tried to create more events to bring career
awareness to its members. Some of these events include speakers from the
engineering industry, mentorship night featuring graduates of the Computer
Engineering department, and tours to the industry.
SCE also offers a number of social activities to supplement the
demanding lifestyles of its members. Activities range from informal BBQ
gatherings with members and faculty, athletic events with other
engineering organizations, SUGA night, and a number of other outings.

 Society
of Women Engineers (SWE)
The Society of Women Engineers originated when small groups of women
engineers and women engineering students began meeting independently in
Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, DC. Nearly 50 women from
these groups came together on May 27, 1950, in New Jersey at Green
Engineering Camp of the Cooper Union and formed the Society of Women
Engineers.
While most SWE members are women engineers or women engineering
students located in the United States and Puerto Rico, anyone who supports
the organization's objectives may apply for membership. SWE has members in
every state as well as in more than 20 foreign countries and U.S. military
locations overseas. U.S. citizenship is not required. Membership was
opened to men in 1976 (previously there was a men's auxiliary, known as
MASWE). Membership grades and qualifications are the same for men as they
are for women. Membership grades are: Student Member, Affiliate,
Associate, Member, Senior Member, Fellow, and Honorary. Applicants are
assigned to the highest membership grade for which they are eligible. An
application, which can be printed, completed and submitted to Society
Headquarters, may be accessed from the Society's homepage. After
submitting an application, an individual is automatically assigned to
either the Section which covers that geographical area or, if the area
isn't part of a Section, to the Members-at-Large. Some Sections,
particularly SWE's older Sections, cover vast areas. Many times two or
more separate metropolitan areas are part of the same Section, but
meetings and activities may be concentrated in only one. Members in an
outlying metropolitan area may seek to form a separate Section with a more
localized focus.
