Student Organizations
The SCE Student Council addresses the need
of the students within the School of Computing
and Engineering. CSEE encourages every student to actively participate in a student organization that matches his or her interests. These organizations include:
ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) is the leading
professional organization in Computer Science and its student
chapter is very active. Among others, it sponsors and participates in numerous programming contests.
AITP (Association of
Information Technology Professionals) caters to the interest
of both information technology students and business
students. Their office is in the Henry W. Bloch School of Business and Public Administration.
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.) is the
leading professional organization in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Many (if not most) in the Computer Science profession are also members of IEEE.
Our student chapter won the prestigeous Region 5 RAB Student Branch Membership Growth and Leadership Award in 2003, the Region 5 Student Branch Web Site Contest in 2005, and was Runner Up in the IEEE International Student Branch Web Site Contest, also in 2005.
Eta Kappa Nu is the Honor Society in Electrical and Computer Engineering. The student chapter at UMKC, Theta Pi, was installed in 1980.
Upsilon Pi Epsilon is the International Honor Society for the computing and information discipline. A UPE student
chapter was founded in 2004.
