Student organizations serve three primary purposes. First they provide an opportunity to learn more about the engineering profession. Second, they allow opportunities to develop leadership skills and meet a wide range of engineering students across all class years. Finally, they build your resume for job hunting and may lead to your first job. Complete contact information about these societies can be found on a bulletin board in the department office area in the Slay Building. Engineering Student Council The engineering student council is a special group of students who work on service projects to the department, the college, and the community. This group leads tours for prospective students, visits regional high schools, and performs similar outreach activities. Students build their leadership, involvement, and speaking skills through this program. Institute of Industrial Engineers The East Carolina University Chapter of the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) is an organization open to all students but is primarily focused on the Engineering Management and Systems Engineering concentrations. The objective of the Chapter is to provide students with outside resources to develop their future professional careers. Also, it is a way in which students can get to know each other better outside of the classroom. The highlight of the IIE year is the Student Regional Conference held annually. Historically, participation each year has been excellent. Society of Manufacturing Engineers SME The SME chapter is operated in cooperation of the technology programs. Students in this program work closely with manufacturing professionals in the state and the region. The society conducts an active program of plant tours and industry speakers. Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and ECU Motorsports The SAE chapter provides the opportunity to learn about the automotive industry and build a Baja car through ECU Motorsports. ECU Motorsports coordinates and manages the design and building of the Baja car and the participation in the SAE Baja competition. ROTC Program Engineering students may participate in the army or air force ROTC Programs. Military careers can be very rewarding and fulfilling to engineering students. Plus it is possible to defray some expenses of your BS degree. Web sites are: Army ROTC: http://www.ecu.edu/cs-acad/AROTC/ Air force ROTC: http://www.ecu.edu/AFROTC/ Professional Engineers of North Carolina Professional registration is essential to the career growth of practicing engineers and this student society focuses on building knowledge and expertise in this critical aspect of an engineering career. The group has close ties with the local and state organizations. |
