The UCF College of Engineering and Computer Science Alumni Chapter hosts a variety of networking, professional development and volunteer events throughout the year. Signature events include:

 

Senior Design Showcase

Every Fall and Spring semester, the chapter recruits volunteer alumni and industry professionals as judges to help review the senior design projects and recognize the top teams from each discipline.


Career Kickoff

Each semester, the chapter hosts this mentoring event to help prepare students for their professional journeys. Volunteer mentors are paired with students for resume reviews, mock interviews and general Q&A.


Alumni Honors Reception

Each year the college gathers to recognize some of our most distinguished alumni from each of our 6 disciplines, as well as a young alumni and college-wide honoree.

 

We owe our successes in large part to the generous contributions of the alumni, friends, corporations, and foundations who have supported our efforts. At the College of Engineering and Computer Science every gift has an impact that extends beyond the campus into our communities, and every gift is deeply appreciated. We thank those who have invested in the college and inspired our students and faculty to pursue their academic and professional dreams.
