Student groups play a vital role in the experience of an engineering undergraduate. Not only do they offer members advice, activities, leadership opportunities and community, but they also provide students with opportunities to enhance their professional skills and explore more of what engineering has to offer. The Student Group Kick-Off event, which happens annually in September, gives students a chance to hear directly from student groups about how joining a group can enhance their experiences through funding, events, professional development and amenities like the Elko Garage. The summarizes the myriad of resources and opportunities for which student groups are eligible. You can find more information about each registered student club on .

Social Mission Clubs with Engineering Student Members

Social Mission Clubs have a core purpose of addressing social or environmental issues to create positive social change.

• : Provides a support network and academic and leadership opportunities for students in science and engineering.
• : Advocates for the retention, inclusion and interests of systematically marginalized groups in engineering.
• : Cultivates a sense of community and mentorship among club members, providing resources and peer support to empower members.
• : Empowers underrepresented undergraduate students in STEM disciplines through programs like the career mentorship program, Black Tie Affair and high school outreach.
• Future social mission clubs include the Women in Mining Club and a , which are currently registering as clubs with the Students’ Union Student Group Services.

Engineering Discipline Clubs 

Engineering Discipline Clubs represent students in an engineering degree program. Each club’s mandate is to act on behalf of and for the students in its program. Each Discipline Club has a representative with a vote on the alongside seven Engineering Students Society senior executives. The Board of Directors sets the Engineering Students Society's structure and ensures it operates effectively and can advocate to the Students’ Union and the university or faculty leadership.

• : Seeks to promote professional awareness among engineering students by encouraging a sense of unity and integrity. The ESS represents engineering students across the program and the departmental engineering clubs and supports the professional and social development of students. The ESS acts as the link between engineering students and the ÌìÑÄÉçÇø Students’ Union, the Faculty of Engineering, and the ÌìÑÄÉçÇø itself.
• : Provides camaraderie and enriches the academic experience of civil engineering students.
• : Provides a sense of community, resources and events like HackEd and the Aether Conference for computer engineering students.
• : Strives to create a dynamic, open-minded and welcoming environment that nurtures the academic and creative growth of electrical engineering students.
• : Provides a space for engineering physics students to connect and socialize.
• Materials Engineering Students' Society: Promotes interaction between students in materials engineering and the faculty.
• Mechanical Engineering Club: Promotes professional development for mechanical engineering students.
• Society of Petroleum Engineers UAlberta Chapter: Disseminates technical information about the oil and gas industry and helps students build professional skills.
• Soon-to-be-registered clubs include the Mining Club and the Mechatronics Club. 

In addition to the Social Mission and Engineering Discipline clubs, there are also several student project teams in the Faculty of Engineering, which have unique needs for their projects including building spaces, safety, funding for their projects and industry partnerships.
