Celebrating Women in Engineering for Women’s History Month! ???? Finding a strong community is key to success in any industry—especially in STEAM. For Sierra Repp, an Associate Manufacturing Solution Researcher at OMIC R&D, that community has been the Society of Women Engineers (SWE). SWE is an international organization dedicated to supporting women in engineering, providing mentorship, advocacy, and networking opportunities to help them succeed. Through local chapter events and national conferences, Sierra has built confidence in her career, connected with inspiring mentors, and learned how to advocate for herself and others in a male-dominated field. She also values the opportunity to give back—volunteering with SWE to inspire the next generation of female engineers. By fostering an inclusive and empowering community, SWE continues to shape the future of women in engineering. Learn more about SWE and how you can get involved: ?? National SWE: https://swe.org/ ??
