Student Organizations
The College of Engineering at Tennessee Tech has many clubs, organizations and competitive teams to provide opportunities for networking, professional development, and community services. Participation is a great way to connect with peers who share your interest, and also helps you stand out when it comes to the job search.
Our annual Student Success Fair, hosted jointly with the Engineering Joint Council, provides the perfect opportunity to learn more about the 38 engineering-specific student organizations we offer. Held in September, the fair offers a one-stop-shop for discovering the student groups that match your interests and meeting their representatives. We also provide information on the services that complement your academic career.
