Societies and Clubs

The ECESS is the preeminent student organization for all undergraduate Electrical and Computer Engineering students at UBC. With over 1100 undergraduate students in the department, ECESS is the largest of all engineering departmental clubs. The executive team organizes many events throughout the year, including the annual Silicon Valley trip, networking events, tutoring workshops, student parties, as well as managing the undergraduate lounge and office located at MacLeod 3005. We encourage all of our ECE undergraduate students to get involved!

Are you a female engineering student at UBC or thinking about engineering as a future career?  If so, you’ve landed in the right place!

The Women in Engineering (WIE) program was established to support you and your peers during your academic term at UBC. We hope that, through our programs and events, you are able to connect and network with other female engineering students and faculty members to build mentoring relationships, social and study groups, professional networks, and perhaps even life-long friendships.
