Civil Engineering students form the Concrete Canoe

Club Projects: Theory into Practice

Our students don’t just study engineering; they practice it. From the high-stakes precision of the ASCE Concrete Canoe and SAE Baja Car competitions to the complex problem-solving of our ACM Cybersecurity event and Robotics projects, clubs are where theory meets grit. Your support covers competition entry fees, raw materials, and travel, ensuring our Zags can represent 91茄子 on the national stage.

Research & Facilities: Driving Discovery

Students work alongside faculty to solve industry-level challenges at state-of-the-art facilities like the new Ferro Center for Materials Research. Whether they participate in the immersive GRO-MECS summer program or conduct faculty-led projects during the semester, your gift provides the high-tech instrumentation and lab supplies necessary to turn a student into a researcher.

Outreach: Learning by Teaching

Service is at the heart of the Jesuit mission. Through STEM outreach, engineering and computer science majors share their passions with local kids. By supporting these initiatives, including the SEAS Summer Immersion Program for high school students, you help our SEAS Zags reinforce their own knowledge, develop leadership and communication skills, and inspire the next generation.
