General Body Meetings (mostly known as GBM’s) are our monthly meetings made for our members to announce upcoming events, share relevant information, as well as use it as a space for professional speakers to share their information. GBM’s are also meant to allow members a dedicated space to develop relationships with others.
Once or twice every semester, we take the tour to various established engineering companies/firms! Going on industry tours and getting a first-hand look at real-world projects.
Every semester, we host the Order of the Engineer Ring ceremony, marking our soon to be engineering graduates’ transition out of school into the professional world. “The Engineer’s Ring in the United States is a stainless-steel ring, worn on the fifth finger of the working hand by engineers who have accepted the Obligation of an Engineer in a Ring Ceremony.” – Order of the Engineer.
In the semester, we host practice sessions every week, with each week being a different topic, in preparation for students, close to graduating, to take their Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam.
In the Spring semester, we collaborate with other clubs, including the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, to host a SOLIDWORKS CSWA (Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate) workshop, getting our members a chance to improve their modeling skills and a foot ahead their competition.
Resume critiques, LinkedIn reviews, mock interviews, elevator pitches, all are different areas that help our members professional development through events done over the semester.
Throughout the semester, we host events that include technical skills to get our member’s practical experience. Some of these include a soldering workshop, 3D printing workshop, and power tool practice.
At least once a semester, we try to partner with other engineering clubs to get all of our engineering students together and have fun. Some events include the annual engineering gala, beach barbeques karaoke, movie night, and more.
Each semester, the College of Engineering & Computer Science host the graduating class of engineers and computer scientist and “recognize the next generation of innovators who are tackling real-world problems with revolutionary ideas”. – Florida Atlantic University
