Organizations
How can you make the most of your time at the University, gain experience, and network? Get involved!
Becoming involved in any of these organizations allows you to get to know fellow students and familiarize yourself with potential careers. Plus, it looks great on your resume to show that you were active outside of the classroom.
Take a look at our Engineering Technology organizations and the organizations open to all College of Engineering students — and try one (or more!) on for size.
