Overview

Student Organizations are a wonderful way to get involved with other students, faculty and community members who share your interests and career goals. The College of Technology hosts numerous student organizations, some of them reflecting larger national or international professional organizations and some which are unique to our college.

Membership in the honor societies is by invitation only and is based on academic merit. Student membership in the professional organizations is available to students who are in accredited programs that relate to that of the mission of the professional organization. Usually dues are required, as is a certain minimal course load in the area of your major.

The College of Technology also hosts the following student organizations with local activities.

• AITP - For those in the information systems or graphics technology programs.
• ASME - For those interested in mechanical engineering technology.
• DECA (Delta Epsilon Chi) - for those interested in the consumer science and merchandising programs.
• IEEE (Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers) - for those interested in the computer engineering or electrical power programs.
• IGAEA (International Graphic Arts Education Association) - for those interested in the graphic arts and imaging fields.
• OTD (Organization for Training and Development) - for those interested in the human resources or training and development programs.
• ABC (Associated Builders and Contractors Student Chapters) - for those interested in the construction management programs.
• SIDO (Students in Logistics Technology) - for those interested in the logistics technology programs.

Those in the technology supervision program might also be interested in one of the student societies listed above, depending upon the area of their course emphasis.

Some of these societies do not require a certain major, so in those cases you are also free to join merely out of an interest in that area. See the specific requirements for the society to find out the details.
