Student Clubs
Student Clubs help engage and inspire students throughout the Columbia University community. We are excited to share a number of Student Club opportunities that we encourage you to participate in:
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers at Columbia University serves to promote an environment of professionalism among Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering undergraduates, graduates, and faculty. We aim at fostering a sense of community in the Department of Electrical Engineering within the university and beyond. With a national chapter of 365,000 members in over 150 countries, we remain one of the most widely known and respected engineering societies in the world.

FSA-E Race Car Club
The mission of the FSA-E Race Car club is to educate and develop the next generation of engineers and managers while building an electric racecar for the Formula SAE competition. The breadth of the project – the design, construction, and financing of the car – provides students with an introduction to all aspects of project and engineering management. By applying theoretical principles of cutting edge technologies to real-world problems, team members develop communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

Society of Women Engineers
The Society of Women Engineers is a non-profit educational and service organization that empowers women to aspire to careers in engineering and thrive as leaders in society. As part of the Region E (Mid-Atlantic) section of SWE, the student chapter here at Columbia University is a very well-known organization throughout the campus. Being that we have undergraduate students in the fields of Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Chemistry allows for a very diverse environment.

Columbia Optical Society of America (OSA) and the International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE)
Columbia Optical Society of America (OSA) and the International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE) student chapter is a student-run organization at Columbia University, located in the heart of NYC. Our organization is involved in enriching the development of students working in optics research. We participate in a number of community outreach events to promote education of the real-world applications of optical engineering and science. Sponsored by the OSA and SPIE organizations, as well as the Columbia Electrical Engineering Department our student members enjoy a variety of professional networking events through a rich slate of lecturers and field trips. We heartily welcome new collaborations with industry members and professional leaders.
