SAC (Student Advisory Committee)

IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) is a professional organization whose aim is helping students build their professional identity in IEEE fields, including Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. The University of Utah IEEE Student Chapter represents the University of Utah section of IEEE with a specific mission to provide a sense of community in IEEE fields at the University and among the University, professional, and academic IEEE members.

The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) is one of the largest and fastest growing educational and scientific multimodal professional transportation organizations in the world. As a chapter of the national ITE group, we help students get involved in transportation projects and become acquainted with the professional transportation employment. We have activities that further the knowledge of transportation engineering, fund raisers, and service projects that help students become familiar with the transportation profession. We are very active, attend nationwide conferences and enthusiastically participate in many ITE events. Student members have access to an abundance of information and resources to help them improve their understanding and status as an engineer. ITE helps students grow as a professional, advance in their individual field of endeavor, and make a positive contribution to society. Our chapter has great relationships with the people in the industry and professional ITE chapters. We bring guest speakers and go to field trips. We organize student seminars, where each of us has an opportunity to present and discuss his/her work. We have great faculty advisors who put a lot of time and effort in supporting our chapter.

The main purpose of the club is to research, discuss and share ideas in the field of water resources and water quality. Students may join IWR through our Campus Connect website and/or sending an email to iwr.uofu@gmail.com to get on our event email list.

Material Advantage Student Chapter is a Chapter located within the Department of Metallurgical Engineering in the College of Mines and Earth Science at the University of Utah. This chapter competes in student competitions throughout the United States of America. Other then the student competitions we are interested in learning more about material that are used throughout the day and world.

The primary purpose of the MEMS is to support, sustain, and build comradery between voluntary peer mentors and mentees in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Utah.

Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Student Advisory Committee (SAC) is charged with representing students in the formal faculty review process RPT (Retention, Promotion, and Tenure). the ME USAC responsibilities at times include the following: Promoting student organizations Promoting department activities Coordinating course evaluations Coordinating community outreach activities Representing student views at Curriculum committee meetings.

The National Society of Black Engineers strives to accomplish the following objectives for our organization:

• Stimulate and develop student interest in the various engineering disciplines
• Strive to increase the number of minority students studying engineering at both the undergraduate and graduate levels
• Encourage members to seek advanced degrees in engineering or related fields and to obtain professional engineering registrations
• Promote public awareness of engineering and the opportunities for Blacks and other minorities in that profession
• Function as a representative body on issues and developments that affect the careers of Black Engineers

The Organization for Women Leaders in Science is an academic club at the University of Utah committed to the advancement of women’s equality in the field of science. To that end, the Organization seeks to promote the positive interaction of individuals dedicated to this cause for their mutual benefit and success. We believe that by joining together to encourage the scientific and individual interests of past, present, and future women in science the wider scientific community and society as a whole will profit from their contributions.

The Organization of Women in Science (OWS) is a club designed to promote and support women in science as well as allow for women in the different fields of sciences (including engineering and math) to interact. OWS meets once a month for activities and field trips that explore a certain field of science. Men who support women in science are also welcome to join.

We envision a world where LGBTQ people in the STEM community are empowered to achieve success in a safe and supportive environment that celebrates their diversity and unique contributions.

oSTEM empowers LGBTQ people in STEM to succeed personally, academically, and professionally by cultivating environments and communities that nurture innovation, leadership, and advocacy.

oSTEM at the University of Utah is focused on creating a community for LGBTQ students and faculty to come together. We will generally have several events a month, ranging from study groups, to socials, and speakers.

This club is for students interested in researching, testing and implementing autonomy in robotics.

The RoboUtes bring together individuals with an interest in robotics. Come learn about robotics, gain skills, and tackle challenging problems in an atmosphere of collaboration, creativity, and learning. We welcome all experience levels and all majors.

This is an organization for students who would like to volunteer to help the Science Olympiad Competitions and deliver science and engineering outreach activities to the community.

Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) 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 through diversity.

We are a society in charge of promoting energy industry, in particular oil and gas industry among the students and welcome them into the world of petroleum engineers. We strives to technically enhance our student members while providing networking opportunities for both our students and the personals from the energy industry.

The STEM Outreach Volunteer Program organizes and runs STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) programs in schools in the Salt Lake area. Members will volunteer to run programs in grade schools to help inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers.

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.”

Triangle is a fraternity for Science, Engineering and Architecture majors. We focus on academic and social excellence, brotherhood, philanthropy and connections for professional success.

The Utah Student Robotics group is an exciting opportunity for students to develop skills in robotics, autonomous mining, and systems engineering while simultaneously engaging the community in fostering an understanding about the role of mining and robotics in our daily lives. The purpose of this group is to build a robot for the NASA Lunabotics Competition (Formally known as NASA RMC) We are open to students of all disciplines, please email us at utahstudentrobotics@gmail.com for more information.

Women in Computing is a place where women (and allies) can come to build relationships, network, support each other, and further develop their skills and careers. Our goal is to create a community for women within the Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and other related fields.
