The graduate student chapter will work towards connecting the U of U students with T&DI committees, providing scholarships opportunities, sending our students to T&DI conferences, introducing the continuing education programs, promoting networking and coalition-building, providing information on journals and practice-oriented publications, and creating future leaders to deal with the emerging issues in transportation.
Welcome to the Association for Computing Machinery at the University of Utah (ACM@UofU). We would love to have you join us for any of our events happening this semester. While not required for participation, we recommend signing up for email updates so you can keep up with what’s happening in ACM, and with other computing events and opportunities happening on campus. Our ACM chapter is just getting started, but with your help we hope to see it become one of the best networking and career resources for computing students at the U. If you’d like to get more involved, we’re looking for volunteers who can help us plan and carry out events for this and future semesters. Becoming a volunteer with ACM puts you in direct contact with many of the faculty in the CS department as well as CE, ECE, and EAE. It also allows you network with people in industry at places like Goldman Sachs, Adobe, and Microsoft. Even if you’re a new student you can make valuable contributions, and the connections you make now with students, faculty, and industry professionals will prove invaluable to you in your academic and professional career. If you’d like to participate please email us at UofUACM@gmail.com.
This is a student group affiliated with the Biomedical Engineering Society. It seeks to help students in biomedical engineering develop professionally and interpersonally.
The College Student Council provides the infrastructure for students to have more opportunities to provide input at the college level. They are both a social and academic organization and as such they advance involvement opportunities, encourage participation in departmental activities, and work together with others to build campus community.

Regarded worldwide as one of the most prestigious design, engineering, and marketing competitions, “Formula SAE® is a student design competition organized by SAE International (formerly known as the Society of Automotive Engineers). The concept behind Formula SAE is that a fictional manufacturing company has contracted a design team to develop a small Formula-style racecar. The prototype racecar is to be evaluated for its potential as a production item.” “Formula SAE promotes careers and excellence in engineering [and other majors] as it encompasses all aspects of the automotive industry including research, design, manufacturing, testing, developing, marketing, management and finances. Formula SAE takes students out of the classroom and allows them to apply textbook theories to real work experiences.”
