Abstract: The College of Engineering website is a great way to find engineering clubs relevant to EE. Simply click one of the hyperlinks to learn more about the club and how to join and become involved. Engineering organizations and clubs are a great way to solidify course concepts through applying the course concepts. Furthermore, employers value the time and achievements students earn in their extracurricular activities. Because these are engineering clubs, you should use the activities in these clubs to gauge interest in your current field.
Tips:
Do not spread yourself too thin. Being heavily involved in one club is better than being a bystander in multiple.
Evaluate the club to maximize professional experience. For example, if you are interested in micro controllers, ask students in leadership positions to see what is available in that subject.
Document contributions for resumes and future applications.
Create professional connections with your peers. After graduation, you all will be working in intertwining fields.
Abstract: The following page provides students with the dates and times of the involvement fairs. Involvement fairs happen at the beginning of each semester when the class load is light. Involvement fairs are significant events where many clubs set up stands and actively recruit members. Joining social clubs and organizations is a great way to meet new people and take a break from technical work. Furthermore, these clubs provide excellent opportunities to give back to the local and national community.
Tips:
Come to the fair prepared with clubs you are potentially interested in.
Allocate most of your time to social clubs you want to get involved in at the fair. Get to know the people and activities they do for fun.
If you see a technical club you want to get involved in, make sure to figure out the location and times of meetings. These meetings provide a far better setting to learn about the club's technical workings and determine whether you are interested in it.
Keep an open mind. College is a great way to be exposed to new experiences and activities.
