Student Organizations

Participating in student organizations is a vital part of the CU Engineering experience. The following student organizations are hosted by the College of Engineering and Applied Science:

University of Colorado Engineering Council
UCEC is the student governing body for the College of Engineering and Applied Science. UCEC is composed of representatives from each of the student professional and honorary societies, as well as other interested engineering students. Any engineering student may participate in the bi-weekly meetings. UCEC organizes college-wide undergraduate student activities such as Career Week and Engineering Days (E-Days).

Engineering Fellows
The Engineering Fellows is an honorary service organization involving a select group of academically successful, service-oriented undergraduates who promote academic excellence in the college through peer academic support.  The fellows provide study sessions for difficult courses, informal help with coursework, and general academic advice and assistance. 

Engineers Without Borders
Engineers Without Borders is a non-profit organization that helps disadvantaged communities improve their quality of life through implementation of environmentally and economically sustainable engineering projects, while developing internationally responsible engineering students.

CU Game Development Club
The CU Game Development Club hopes to teach and inspire members interested in game development by working on club projects, presenting game development tutorials, and showcasing students’ personal projects.

Professional Societies

The college hosts chapters of many professional engineering societies. These societies have a variety of functions, including distributing information about student government, setting up guest speakers, organizing social events, and sponsoring entries in national design and paper competitions. Membership in professional societies is open to anyone.
