To help students become more aware of their civic and social responsibilities as professional engineers, several national societies have established student branches at Rutgers. These include the American Ceramic Society, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, American Institute of Industrial Engineers, American Production and Inventory Control Society, American Society of Agricultural Engineers, American Society of Civil Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, National Society of Black Engineers, Optical Society of America, Society of American Military Engineers, Society of Automotive Engineers, Society of Hispanic Engineers, Society of Manufacturing Engineers, Society of Packaging Engineers, and Society of Women Engineers. In addition, there are two local student organizations: Minority Engineering Educational Task provides academic assistance and opportunities for social and intellectual growth for minority engineering students; Sigma Beta Epsilon is a sorority for minority engineering students.
An excellent opportunity to maintain continued contact with the School of Engineering is provided by the Rutgers Engineering Society. This is the alumni organization dedicated to supporting engineering education at Rutgers.
