UA engineers earn SWE awards

By Associated Engineering Press

Grace Guin and Lexi Romine, two University of Alabama graduates, were recently selected to receive nationally competitive awards by the Society of 
Women Engineers.

Ten members of SWE collegiate chapters will be honored as recipients of the Outstanding Collegiate Member Award this year.

“One of the most appealing aspects of engineering to me is the opportunity to help the community,” Guin said. “Because engineers are essential to almost every industry, society benefits from the contributions of engineers every day. It’s exciting to be on the forefront of new ideas and creative solutions to society’s current issues.”

In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes. Today, UA’s College of Engineering has more than 5,200 students and more than 170 faculty. In recent years, students in the College have been named USA Today All-USA College Academic Team members, Goldwater, Hollings, Portz, Boren, Mitchell and Truman scholars.
