Professional Organizations
Engineering students at York College participate in student chapters of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and/or the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Society-sponsored design-and-build competitions, dinner meetings, tours, and field trips all provide exciting opportunities for visiting and networking with practicing engineers and fellow students from other schools.

Engineering Curriculum Advisory Board
An outgrowth of the EIAC has been the establishment of a small working group of engineers and engineering managers-active in their fields-who advise the Program Coordinator and help maintain a relevant focus for the engineering program at York College. This group is designated as the Engineering Curriculum Advisory Board (ECAB). The mission of the ECAB is to work with the head of the engineering program and to bring to bear an industrial perspective on engineering study at York College.
