To highlight some of the SWE National Goals, I wanted to make us aware of some SWE public policy documents. Check out the national website, Public Policy: http://societyofwomenengineers.swe.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=180&Itemid=289
From this website, SWE concentrates on the following three areas related to public policy:
1. Strengthening America’s schools as presented in the SWE’s general position statement, "Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education and the Need for a Technologically Literate Workforce"
2. How Title IX can be applied to STEM fields as presented in SWE’s general position statement, "The Application of Title IX to the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Fields"
3. Strengthen the STEM workforce by ensuring equal opportunity for women in STEM education and careers as stated in SWE's general position statement, "SWE General Position Statement on Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action"
Check out these documents online! If you haven’t read them previously, it gives great insight into the organizational goals and policies!
Thanks, Cassie
