We are Team Tech — an interdisciplinary engineering design team under the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) at the University of Florida. Our mission is to give female engineers a collaborative, hands-on environment to solve real-world industry challenges while growing technically and professionally.
For nearly a decade, we've partnered with industry leaders to design, build, and optimize innovative solutions across hardware, software, and systems engineering.
Our team of 15–20 undergraduate female engineers spans multiple disciplines — ready to tackle full-stack engineering problems end to end.
