Engineering Student Organizations
There are many student associations within the different engineering departments that respond to the interests of each particular discipline. In addition, there are several engineering associations that have chapters in the College of Engineering at Mayagüez that bring together all the engineering disciplines. These associations group students from all departments, as engineers, to provide integration and a multidisciplinary setting to share experiences.
