Getting an engineering degree can be isolating, but with a SWE membership you are not alone. Joining SWE gives
you an automatic network of colleagues with similar experiences, challenges, and goals. Many current SWE members
credit joining SWE in college as the reason they stuck with—and succeeded in—their STEM programs. You’ll also
have the opportunity to meet and network with practicing engineers who can provide advice, guidance and real world career connections. In the UMaine Section we also enjoy hosting various socials/outings for members, volunteering the in the local community, and planning the annual Engineering Formal.
