Student Organizations
Participating in a student organization is a great way for undergraduate and graduate students to build new skills, network and make a difference in their community. The University of baby直播app Engineering Council (UCEC) maintains a database of student organizations as does the university. Click the buttons below to explore involvement opportunities across campus.
There are 3 primary types of student organizations:
- Student societies tend to be local chapters of larger professional organizations with examples including the , Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) and .
- Student design teams provide an opportunity for students to work collaboratively on design projects while building technical and teamwork skills. Examples of student design teams include , the Robotics Club and Design for America (DFA).
- Other student organizations have an approach that doesn鈥檛 neatly fall within either of those two categories. For example, is a student-run publication, and the CU Energy Club focuses on connecting students with the energy industry.
The serves as a student leadership team for the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering. They plan industry talks, baby直播app dinners, barbeques, happy hours and other events to bring mechanical engineering students together and build community within the department. Both undergraduate and graduate students are welcome to join ASME and participate in their events.
Graduate students with an interest in mentoring are encouraged to participate in STEM Routes which provides opportunities for graduate students to serve as mentors to undergraduates with an interest in research or graduate school.
Students who are interested in using engineering skills to impact developing communities around the world are encouraged to learn more about Engineers Without Borders (EWB), an organization that was founded at CU Boulder in 2002.
