SWE Regional Conference
Every year, SWE at UMD attends the SWE Regional Conference. In the past, this conference has taken place at relatively nearby locations, such as New York and Delaware. These conferences are aimed at helping engineers to realize their full potential, as well as how they can use their skills to positively impact the world around them. Every conference is a great learning experience, as well as an amazing networking opportunity; the UMD chapter of SWE recognizes this and takes full advantage of the event.
SWE covers the cost of registration and lodging, so the only expenses you are required to pay are travel (Bus), food, and any personal expenses. The next regional conference will take place at Virginia Tech University from March 28th to March 30th.
Please email swe.umd@gmail.com for more information.
SWE National Conference
The executive board will be attending the SWE National Conference, otherwise known as WE13, this October, from the 24th to the 26th.
