Find, join and contact every registered club on CampusGroups (UMass Lowell login). The clubs below are the ones ECE students join most. Club members can also build their projects in the ECE Makerspace.
Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) students build drones, robots and rockets, compete on design teams and lead professional societies. Every club below is open to ECE students. Students join through CampusGroups, the university's club site.
