SEAS Student Clubs

Engineering and computer science students don’t just attend classes—they build, lead, and innovate through vibrant clubs and professional chapters. These groups are powerhouses for learning, skill-building, and making a real impact on campus and beyond. Check out some of the standout activities and milestones our students achieved this past academic year.

IEEE Brings Power Engineers Together at November Panel

The student chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers hosts professionals from the Avista power utility to hear about work in generation, controls, and protection. Surprisingly, there are power careers for many engineering disciplines, not just EE!

Society of Women Engineers (SWE): Resume Builder

Career Fair prep included some great advice on how to honestly boost a student resume from Kareena Byrd of GU's Career and Professional Development.

Mock interview

American Society for Engineering Mgt. (ASME): Resume Builder

The annual Career Fair brings recruiters from around the region to Gonzaga specifically to talk with students. To prepare to put their best self forward, students volunteered for a mock interview where Dr. Gary Weber demonstrated how to effectively shape their answers in a job interview.

SAMPE Creates, Tests Carbon Fiber

The Student Fuselage Contest is a national fabrication competition with valuable insights into aerospace composite design and manufacturing. Using fiberglass prepreg, the team lays up and cures a model of an airplane body, then machines openings to simulate passenger and cargo entry doors. They hope to compete in April 2026!

Robot

GU Robotics: Robotic Rover

The multi-disciplinary robotics club develops its remote-controlled rover designed to work on Mars. They plan to compete in Spring 2026 in the University Rover Challenge. There are specific tasks for each major, from computer science systems, electric engineer controls, mechanical engineer chassis, and roles for management and outreach.

American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Design, Build, Fly!

ASME continues to improve a remote-controlled plane for the AIAA Design/Build/Fly competition: designing, fabricating and testing the flight capabilities of an electric powered, remote-controlled airplane. The club hopes to compete in April 2026.
