Student Organizations
Get Involved! Why? The traditional (and still important) reason is that it looks good on your resume. But there are other better reasons. Becoming involved in any of these organizations allows you to get to know fellow students and become acquainted with a potential career in nuclear engineering.
Take a look at the groups and organizations listed below, or check out the full list of engineering student organizations at https://go.ncsu.edu/engr-student-orgs.
Alpha Omega Epsilon Engineering Sorority (ΑΩΕ)
Alpha Omega Epsilon is a professional and social sorority composed of female engineering students and alumnae. The sorority was founded on November 13, 1983, at Marquette University. The Gamma Chapter of Alpha Omega Epsilon upholds the goals of its parent organization to further the advancement of female engineers, specifically those women studying engineering at NCSU.
