Student Organizations

The college and its departments sponsor a wide variety of student clubs. Involvement in these clubs allows students to develop closer ties with faculty and other students in the same major. It also gives students the opportunity to work in study groups, join professional organizations, gain career information, participate in professional seminars and tours, and attend social activities.

Clubs available to students are the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), ASM InternationalÑThe Materials Information Society (ASM/TMS), Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES), College Women in Computing Club (CWCC), Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Computer Society (IEEE/CS), Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE), National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), Ohio Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE), Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), Society of Women Engineers (SWE), Student Government, Technology Venture Club(TVC), and the Wright Engineering Council (WEC). The Wright Engineering Council promotes communication and cooperation among all of the college clubs and fosters professional and social growth. A college-wide club fair is held annually in the fall to encourage membership. Students may contact the departments or the college office for information on joining any of the clubs.

The college also sponsors the Ohio Mu chapter of the Tau Beta Pi national engineering honor society. Student membership in Tau Beta Pi is based on high academic achievement.
