College of Engineering Student Organizations
Student organizations at UTSA Engineering are some of the most active on campus. Governed by The University of Texas at San Antonio's College of Engineering Student Council, engineering student organizations work together to strengthen their professional and personal development as future engineers, serve and promote interaction among students and the engineering community, and cultivate an active student body to encourage pride and tradition.
Get involved in one of the student organizations listed below, or start your own. Either way, your participation will boost your experience as a student at UTSA and your future as a professional.
