SAU Engineering Club
Run by St. Ambrose University students with faculty advisors from the Engineering Department, the Engineering Club gives students opportunities to learn and grow outside of the classroom through academic support, volunteering, social interaction, professional networking, and managing and implementing a unique project.
In October 2016, students voted the Engineering Club as Club of the Month and wrote this about the club: Engineering Club is awesome! They have been working really hard to involve their students both academically and socially. They hosted a Walking Taco night with Professor Trivia to relax after studying. They also are taking available members to Zombie Paintball to get into the Halloween spirit. Study nights with snacks help the students work together and get them through some of their difficult classes. They have also done a wonderful job continuously recruiting new students by partnering with other clubs.
In early 2020, the Engineering and Chemistry clubs, and Her Campus SAU, collaborated for a fundraiser, creating bath bombs and selling them on campus. Read this story.
