EGR 110: Student OrganizationsFall 2015Why get involved in a student chapter or engineering club?Have students generate reasons why it would be important to get involved in a club as a student and as a professional. You might want to describe how your own proessional society has benefite you in your career. 2What do professional societies do?AssignmentAttend at least one engineering club meeting during fall semester (take the attendance form and get it signed by a club officer); worth 5% of overall gradeMost clubs meet once per monthLook at the whiteboard calendar outside Shiley 205 for a list of club meetingsLook at the on-line UP calendar: http://www.up.edu/calendar/
