We aim to prepare you for leadership roles.
The School of Engineering encourages a student's involvement in co-curricular activities and organizations that add to the undergraduate experience, both academically and socially. Membership and involvement in organizations can help students meet new people, explore new ideas, develop leadership skills, and meet important contacts for career plans.
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics is the principal society and voice serving the aerospace profession. Its purpose is to advance the arts, sciences, and technology of aeronautics and astronautics and to foster and promote the professionalism of those engaged in these pursuits.
American Institute of Chemical Engineers
Members of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers network with fellow chemical engineering students and practicing chemical engineers. Students use the organization to engage in mentoring opportunities, apply for special scholarships, and explore new technologies.
American Society of Civil Engineers
Members of the American Society of Civil Engineers network with other students, professors, and potential employers and have the opportunity to attend national conferences.
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Students in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers benefit from e-mentoring opportunities, subscriptions to mechanical engineering publications, scholarships, and more.
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
Throughout the academic year, ACM organizes social events, movie nights, programming contests, travel opportunities, and a fireside chat. Student members of ACM benefit from use of a student lounge equipped with two PC's, an iMac, a Solaris, and high-speed wireless internet access in Lopata Hall, Room 509.
Association of Graduate Students (AGES)
The Association of Graduate Engineering Students is the student organization that represents and coordinates activities for graduate students. AGES sends representatives to the Professional and Graduate Student Coordinating Committee (ProGradS), the campus-wide graduate student government, and the Graduate Professional Council (GPC).
Biomedical Engineering Society
The Biomedical Engineering Society works to raise awareness of advances in biomedical engineering knowledge.
Chi Epsilon
Chi Epsilon is the honor society for civil engineering students. Students in the top third of their class are invited to become a member in during junior or senior year.
Computer Science and Engineering Graduate Student Association
The Computer Science and Engineering Graduate Student Association is comprised of graduate students in Computer Science and Engineering. The group organizes social events and seminars and addresses student concerns.
Engineering Student Council (EnCouncil)
As the student council of the School of Engineering, EnCouncil strives to represent the interests of engineering students to the administration. Using EnCouncil as a vehicle, students are able to influence positive changes in the engineering school while developing leadership skills.
Engineers Without Borders
Engineers Without Borders partners with developing communities to improve their quality of life through the implementation of environmentally sustainable, equitable, and economical engineering projects while developing internationally responsible engineers and engineering students.
Eta Kappa Nu
Eta Kappa Nu is the national honor society for Electrical Engineering students who meet certain academic eligibility criteria. Students in the top third of the senior class and the top fourth of the junior class are invited to join.
Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (Formula SAE)
Members of the motorsport program at Washington University are enthusiastic students who completely design and fabricate a formula style race car. Comprised mainly of engineers, but open to students of all disciplines, the team is committed to exploring the frontiers of innovation and technology. Today, the team is developing an Ethanol powered car with regard for the future of alternative energy.
INFORMS
The student chapter of INFORMS works to foster and cultivate interest and provide opportunity for students to learn more about the science of operations research.
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
IEEE strives to provide students with electrical and computer engineering resources outside of the classroom, including information about joining the national IEEE organization. Members also communicate electrical engineering students' concerns to the faculty.
National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE)
NSBE students work to increase the number of culturally responsible black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and positively impact the community. At Washington University, NSBE students volunteer for various diversity projects in the St. Louis community and host an annual campus-wide career fair.
Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)
SIAM encourages students to combine mathematics and other scientific and technological disciplines by promoting research using new mathematical and computational methods and techniques.
Society of Women Engineers (SWE)
SWE members strive to support women engineering students by organizing outreach, mentoring, networking, and social activities. Each year, members host a "Women in Engineering Day" for high school women interested in learning more about engineering.
Tau Beta Pi
Tau Beta Pi is a national engineering honor society designed to encourage and recognize superior scholarship and leadership achievement either in broad fields of education or in departmental fields at either undergraduate or graduate levels.
Washington University Student Union
Student Union (SU) is the undergraduate student government at Washington University.
