Eta Kappa Nu
(HKN)
An honorary society for students majoring in electrical
engineering. Membership is by invitation only and members are
selected from the top portion of the electrical engineering
class. Activities include tutoring, hosting speakers from
industry as well as student/faculty mixers.
Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) OSU Student
Chapter
IEEE is a professional organization that seeks to advance global
prosperity by fostering technological innovation, enabling
members' careers and promoting community world-wide. The Ohio
State student chapter aims to help students create a network with
faculty, other students and engineers from industry.
IEEE
Graduate Student Body at Ohio State
Ohio State is home to the first IEEE graduate student chapter
worldwide. This group aims to increase collaboration and
networking among graduate students within the various disciplines
of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science
Engineering, and the greater academic and professional
community.
RISE^ECE
(Recruitment and Retention Initiative for Successful Engineers:
Electrical and Computer Engineering)
Rise ECE is a group of students at The Ohio State University,
dedicated to the retention and continued success of minority
electrical and computer engineering students, by providing a
community of like minded individuals driven towards success.We
exist to recruit and retain underrepresented groups to electrical
and computer engineering through service and provide outreach to
the community. We will engage future engineers, promote their
awareness of engineering as a potential career, and spark their
interests in science and mathematics. In the process we will
establish a sense of community amongst existing students and
serve as a point of contact for alumni.
Engineering Student Activities
Many ECE students are also involved in activities and organizations comprised of students throughout the College of Engineering. These include:
Women in Engineering (WiE) provides a home to women engineering students, giving support through peer mentoring, networking events with professional women engineers, volunteer and community service opportunities and more.
The oldest engineering honor society in the nation. Membership is open to all engineering disciplines, but is by invitation only, as determined by class ranking (the upper eighth of the junior class and the upper fifth of the senior class). Meetings include speakers from industry, service projects, social activities and various other college-wide events.
Student project teams provide leadership opportunities, hands-on engineering experience and a chance to meet other engineering students. There are more than 20 student engineering project teams to choose from including Solar Decathlon, EcoCar, First Robotics and more.
