Student Clubs and Organizations
This is just a sample of some of the clubs ECE students are involved in. For a full list of all engineering and all University of Utah clubs and organizations, see below.
Aerospace Club
The Aerospace Club at the University of Utah is a student chapter of American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). The AIAA promotes the study of aeronautics and astronautics at the University of Utah, helps students to find related employment, sponsors projects for student participation, and organizes activities that complement aerospace education. Club projects include a wide application of Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, and Computer engineering principles.
ECE Student Advisory Committee (SAC)
The main duties of the SAC are to:
1. Provide a forum for student concerns
2. Communicate student issues to teachers, courses, and requirements to the department
3. Provide Retention, Promotion and Tenure (RPT) reports for professors

Engineers Without Borders
Engineers Without Borders is a non-profit humanitarian organization established to partner with developing communities worldwide in order to improve their quality of life. This partnership involves the implementation of sustainable engineering projects, while involving and training internationally responsible engineers and engineering students.
IEEE
IEEE is the world’s largest professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. IEEE and its members inspire a global community through IEEE's highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities.
National Society of Black Engineers
NSBE Vision: We envision a world in which engineering is a mainstream word in homes and communities of color, and all Black students can envision themselves as engineers. In this world, Blacks exceed parity in entering engineering fields, earning degrees, and succeeding professionally.
Utah Student Robotics
The University of Utah Robotic Mining Team is a multidisciplinary group of students who use a combination of electrical, mechanical, and computer engineering as well as computer science to field an autonomous robot to compete in the NASA Robotic Mining competition at Kennedy Space Center. The team was formed in 2014 and took 3rd place out of 49 teams in 2015 and won the judge’s innovative design award and mined more material than any other team in 2016.
RoboUtes
RoboUtes is an interdisciplinary student organization centered around building robots. Currently we have Computer Scientists, Electrical Engineers, and Mechanical Engineers participating, however, we would like to foster interest from other fields so please feel free to come talk to us! We don't bite, though you may wish to bring some safety gear in case one of experiments gone awry while you're visiting!
Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers
Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) is the leading social-technical organization whose primary function is to enhance and achieve the potential of Hispanics in engineering, math and science. The society is committed to improving the overall culture of engineering at the University of Utah.

Society of Women Engineers (SWE)
Utah's Society of Women Engineers is the driving force that establishes engineering as a highly desirable career aspiration for women. SWE empowers women to succeed and advance in those aspirations and be recognized for their life-changing contributions and achievements as engineers and leaders.
Tau Beta Pi
Tau Beta Pi is the only national engineering honor society at the University of Utah. TBP members are known not only for their academic excellence, but also for their excellent character and leadership qualities. Moreover, the engineering industry is filled with TBP members, so employers know from experience that members make good employees.
The Women in Engineering Program (WIE)
The Women in Engineering (WIE) program is dedicated to serving the community of women graduate and undergraduate engineering/computer science students in the John and Maria Price College of Engineering. WIE will focus on retention, recruitment and overall climate enhancement activities. The WIE community includes women of from all seven engineering departments at the University of Utah.
UCubeSat
The CubeSat Club at The University of Utah (UCubeSat) seeks to provide opportunities for students to get involved in a space-related engineering project by researching, designing, and launching a CubeSat into space. Our current CubeSat mission design is a real-time virtual reality control system with gyroscopic attitude controls and a live wide-angle camera feed from Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
