2020 Society of Women Engineers
​Top 10 Women Engineers You Should Know

To celebrate the contributions of women engineers, SWE Magazine contacted its social media channels to pose the question: “Who are the women engineers we should know?” SWE sought to know the women engineers who are not typically in the spotlight but are making meaningful, even substantive, contributions in their workplaces, communities, and beyond.

In honor of this recognition, the adjacent full-page Microsoft ad was taken out in the spring 2020 edition of SWE's magazine.
