PROFESSIONAL SOCIETIES

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF EXISTANCE OF PROFESSIONAL SOCIETIES AT THE CAMPUS

Student Chapters of all the major Engineering Societies are very active on the campus. The societies represented are ASME ( American Society of Mechanical Engineers ), IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers ) and SWE (Society of Women Engineers ). Membership in these societies is encouraged because they help prepare students for employment. Corporate recruiters visit them, field trips to corporations are undertaken and work-study programs are undertaken through them. Students also make friends via the societies and, thus, establish an important networking foundation which assists them later in the working world. The societies also sponsor lectures on current engineering problems and solutions.
