The Maine Section of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE F004) has been active for well over 40 years. Our members work and live all over the state. Our professional section regularly meets with the collegiate section, based at the University of Maine, Orono campus. We hold our planning meetings each summer in order to set our meeting schedule for the year. Formal meetings and events typically take place between September and May. You do not need to be a member of the Society of Women Engineers to join our events!
