Expand your circle. Forge your path.

Engineering happens in classrooms and labs. It also happens in late-night design sessions, service trips, competitions and conversations that stretch how you think. CCEE students are active across dozens of organizations and honor societies, building leadership skills, strengthening professional networks and forming friendships that last well beyond graduation.

Whether you’re drawn to competition teams, professional societies, service organizations or identity-based communities, there’s a place for you here.
