SAWomEng aims to remind students about the exciting, innovative, groundbreaking work that is being done in the engineering industry. This is to prevent the migration of students from engineering into other industries. There is a lack of awareness amongst students, about the industry and industry related issues, such as current projects and career opportunities. This makes engineering seem like a dull and non-lucrative. Thus, we believe that by creating an opportunity for companies to market themselves and inviting industry leaders to share their experiences, we are able to 'reignite the flame'. Students can get excited about their choice of study, and have a window into their field of engineering. Back...

Being one of the minorities in the engineering industry, female students often lack support. Thus we believe that it is absolutely crucial that links are formed between engineers who are practising in industry and students who aspire to work in industry. SAWomEng will create the necessary platform to foster these ties. This will in turn facilitate the transfer of knowledge and skills. Back...

SAWomEng is a safe haven for the brightest female minds in engineering. Our main aim is to showcase not only the technical brilliance of these minds but also the refreshing perspectives these minds bring to the engineering industry. A technical project will thus form part of the Annual National Conference. The project will see the students tackling a topical and relevant engineering problem in a multi-disciplinary fashion.

Young engineers contribute in great numbers to the exodus of engineers from the engineering industry. We feel that young engineers are misunderstood by industry. Industry is out-of-sync with the needs and priorities of this rapidly evolving species. It is thus necessary to create a meeting ground for old and young engineers. The SAWomEng National Conference helps female engineering students engage with stakeholders in the engineering industry in a relaxed and social environment so as to promote dialogue and networking.

The engineering woman can be likened to a multi-faceted diamond. SAWomEng aims to nurture the facet of women most neglected by the industry: their femininity. Back...
