There are 3听primary types of student organizations:
- Student societies tend to be local chapters of larger professional organizations听with examples including the , Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES)听补苍诲听.听听
- Student design teams provide an opportunity for students to work collaboratively on design projects while building technical and teamwork skills.听Examples of student design teams include , the Robotics Club and Design for America (DFA).
- Other student organizations have an approach that doesn鈥檛 neatly fall within either of those two categories.听For example, is a student-run听publication, and the CU Energy Club focuses on connecting students with the energy industry.
The serves as a student leadership team for the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering.听They plan industry talks, faculty dinners, barbeques, happy hours听and other events to bring mechanical engineering听students together and build community within the department.听Both undergraduate and graduate students are welcome to join ASME and participate in their events.听听
Graduate students with an interest in mentoring are encouraged to participate in STEM Routes which provides opportunities for graduate students to serve as mentors to undergraduates with an interest in research or graduate school.听听
Students who are听interested in using听engineering skills to impact developing communities around the world are encouraged to learn more about Engineers Without Borders (EWB), an听organization that was founded at CU Boulder in 2002.听
