The Mt. Diablo Section of the Society of Women Engineers is part of the Golden West Region of SWE. The Mt. Diablo Section was originally part of the Golden Gate Section, but was formed to create a smaller geographic area allowing for more member participation at meetings and other section activities. Our section's geographical area stretches from Fairfield in the North, to Sunol in the south, and covers the area between the Oakland/Berkeley Hills and the Central Valley. Our section is very diverse. Our members work for local government agencies, the chemical and petroleum industry, national research laboratories, utilities, consulting firms and their own companies.
Congratulations to Sruti Bharat, Kathryn Tringale and Caroline Grant for being the 2008 Mt. Diablo SWE Scholarship recipients! These young ladies were well-deserving and were chosen to receive the award among 17 applicants by a committee of SWE members. Congratulations to these wonderful scholarship recipients! And thanks again to all the generous donors who give to this program every year! Please join us for our annual Scholarship Luncheon to help celebrate the accomplishments of these ladies! Find out more about our winners!

This Summer, Give Your Sons and Daughters a Chance to Succeed! A big part of life is learning to solve problems. Engineers thrive on finding solutions. They combine math and science with creativity, and use their brains and hands to build things to solve problems. Your child can be introduced to what engineers do, as early as their summer before 6th grade. The Tech Academy of Silicon Valley is a grassroots program to help students explore and improve the skills needed to pursue college level work in engineering, technology and science. Visit the TECH Academy web site for more information.
