The Phoenix Section of Society of Women Engineers serves the Phoenix metro area and has about 250 members. SWE Phoenix is among the 25 largest professional SWE sections. The section was chartered June 16, 1964. In February 2018, the section hosted WE Local Phoenix. This professional section partners with the collegiate sections at Arizona State University, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and Northern Arizona University.
SWE Phoenix has members at every stage of their lives, including collegiate members to retired professionals. SWE Phoenix members are employed at a range of companies, from large to small, and in a wide range of engineering disciplines. The section is funded through a combination of membership rebates, matching grants from employers, donations, and an endowment from the estate of Lucile B. Kaufman.
The section also provides annual scholarships, administered by the section: the number and value of these changes annually.
