For more than seven decades, SWE has given women engineers a unique place and voice within the engineering industry.
- Women in Computer Science (WiCS)
-

The club prepares women for the tech industry, in addition to inspiring women to explore educational and professional opportunities in computing through creating a powerful community, providing mentorship and helping them to succeed.
- Women Machinists' Club (WMC)
-
Created in 2020, the Women Machinists' Club (WMC) at UC Davis believes that every developing engineer should have the chance to work with their hands. However, machine shops are often male-dominated, and students of underrepresented genders report experiencing discrimination in these environments. That’s why WMC serves as a space for interested students of underrepresented genders to learn skills and support one another.
