  • Student Leadership Opportunities

    We offer opportunities for you to grow as a leader where you live, where you volunteer or work, or where you find connections with others. Make great things happen where it matters most to you.

  • Undergraduate Research

    Most faculty advise undergraduate research. Students often present their research at Cornell and scientific meetings, and some become authors on scientific papers.

Popular Experiences for Electrical and Computer Engineering Majors

  • Cornell Maker Club

    We provide tools, workspace, and a community for all interested members of Cornell’s campus. Our purpose is to provide a space where motivated and creative minds can give shape to their ideas and to help spread this passion through the campus and beyond.

  • Student Project Teams

    Nearly 30 teams with more than 1,000 student participants. Project teams mimic real-world engineering scenarios and bring students, faculty and staff together for the sake of team building and innovation. Many teams compete across the region, nation and globe and others work on service learning projects and programs. Project teams are dedicated to sustainability, programming, robotics, design, healthcare, watersports, public service and more.

  • Study Abroad

    Engineering is an international field, and undergraduates who study abroad will greatly benefit from experiencing a new culture. Spending a full semester abroad (typically the fall semester of junior year) takes careful planning in coordination with your academic advisor. To learn more, attend an [Engineering Study Abroad information session] and then speak with the [Engineering Advising Office]. Applications are handled through the Office of Global Learning. For the full breakdown of courses, contact the [undergraduate student services coordinator].
