Societies and Clubs

The ECESS is a student organization for all undergraduate Electrical and Computer Engineering students at UBC. With over 900 undergraduate students in the department, ECESS is the largest of all engineering departmental clubs. Through the hard work of the ECESS council and student volunteers, their goal is to provide ECE students with a better environment to learn and gain life long skills. We encourage all of our ECE undergraduate students to get involved!

The ECEGSA is the association of all Graduate students in the ECE Department at UBC. Every graduate student in ECE is automatically a member, and the ECEGSA Executive organizes activities and services for the benefit of all graduate students. These include orientations for new students, a weekly Afternoon Social Break, an Industry/Student Networking Night, and many other workshops and events. The ECEGSA welcomes all ECE Graduate students to participate in its events, which are announced via email and on the ECEGSA website.

The UBC IEEE Student Branch is dedicated to developing the professional skills of electrical and computer engineering students at the University of British Columbia. The Student Branch executive team organizes many events throughout the year including the annual Think Engineering networking event, MATLAB and Linux workshops, industry field trips, as well as local and global competitions. The Student Branch has also organized field trips to popular destinations for technology such as Silicon Valley and Japan. With over 250 members, UBC is one of the largest IEEE student branches in western Canada. The IEEE is the world’s largest professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity.

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.
