About SWE-CI
The Central Indiana Section has expanded over the years; we now have over 100 professional members, and are located in the geographical area surrounding the City of Indianapolis. SWE-CI helps support several Universities in the area including the University of Evansville, University of Notre Dame, Purdue University, Trine University, Valparaiso University, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
In 1990, a callout was made to determine interest in establishing a section in the area. Over 100 women attended the callout, and about 15 women formed the Central Indiana Interest Group. This group performed the activities necessary to establish a chapter including defining the Section’s boundaries, conducting meetings and documenting participation, and collecting fees and donations. Their efforts paid off, and the SWE-CI section was chartered in February 1991.
Over time, the Section became inactive resulting in another callout in 1997. A favorable response led to the election of officers for the 1997-1998 fiscal year. It has been through the hard work of the officers and chairs since 1997 that we are able to offer and participate in several programs and activities. The section has also established a scholarship program for females pursing a college degree in engineering and technology within the state of Indiana.
