UT Engineering Council

The UT Student Chapter of ACM is comprised of undergraduate and graduate students interested in computer science, software engineering, and computer security.

Engineers Without Borders-USA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the completion of needed and sustainable engineering projects in third world or developing countries. The UT Chapter of Engineers Without Borders (EWB-UTOL) has concerned itself with helping out aldeas (villages) in the Municipality of Orocuina. In June 2009 we completed our first project, a potable water system for the community of Los Sanchez. As of March 2010 we are looking forward to completing smaller projects in Los Sanchez as well as another water system for the larger community of La Barranca.

The 2011-2012 season will mark the 18th year of the University of Toledo Formula SAE team. Each year our team designs, builds, tests and competes an open wheeled formula style race car. We represent the University of Toledo on an international level, competing with over 430 teams from around the world. In the past nine SAE competitions, the team has brought home four “Top Ten” finishes. This years team includes a wide variety of students, from freshmen to seniors and with majors ranging from engineering to business. The team is broken down into five specialized areas including chassis, suspension, powertrain, electrical, and composites, with each group having a leader. Each group leader and team leader is a mentor to younger students. The leaders not only teach them about racecar design, manufacturing, and fabrication but also help to mentor the younger students in their respective courses of study. The SAE program offers students the opportunity to apply knowledge learned in the classroom to real-world problems, with the car expressing the collaboration of each individual’s research, knowledge, and creativeness.

The purpose of the UT Branch of the IEEE is to disseminate knowledge of the theory and practice of all phases of Electrical Engineering as well as other allied fields. We also seek to further the professional development of our student members.

Phi Sigma Rho is a national social sorority for women in engineering and engineering technology. Phi Sigma Rho is a balance between social and academic pursuits and helps to keep you involved and active, while excelling in one of the best degrees around. The friendship and memories that are created within the sorority, both studying and socializing, will be a part of you forever.

The purpose of Phi Sigma Rho is to foster and maintain the bonds of sisterhood, while pursing a degree and profession in any area of Engineering and Engineering Technology.

Phi Sigma Rho actively participates in community service benefiting Toledo and surrounding areas on and off campus as well as sponsor social events, academic assistance, and other on-campus Greek activities.

The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is a national organization, founded in 1950, who's main contributions are to be a not-for-profit educational and service organization. SWE is the driving force that establishes engineering as a highly desirable career aspiration for women. SWE empowers women to succeed and advance in those aspirations and be recognized for their life-changing contributions and achievements as engineers and leaders. At the University of Toledo, SWE encourages all engineers (men and women, alike), as well as other math and science majors to benefit from this wonderful organization.

Tau Beta Pi was founded in 1885 to honor “those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character” in engineering and related disciplines. Tau Beta Pi requires that undergraduate juniors be in the upper one-eighth of their class and that seniors be in the upper one-fifth of their class based on GPA to be invited to this prestigious organization. If you have further questions, please review our national website: www.tbp.org

Triangle is a national social fraternity originally created in 1907 at the University of Illinois. The Toledo chapter, the 34th chapter of Triangle, was chartered in 1971. The purpose of Triangle is to develop balanced men in the fields of Engineering, Architecture, and Science by providing an environment which fosters personal growth and professional success. Our national philanthropy is Habitat for Humanity.
