Student Organizations

Chemical Engineering (AIChE)

Each semester many activities are scheduled by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers student chapter (AIChE). These range from field trips to industry in Kentucky and adjoining states, playing intramural sports, and participating in community service activities. In addition, the Department traditionally sends a strong contingent to the AIChE Annual Meeting and the Southeast Regional AIChE Student Meeting.

The Department sponsors Omega Chi Epsilon, a national honor society to recognize and promote high scholarship, original investigation and professional service.

Materials Engineering (ASM)

Membership is open to any student to the American Society of Metals International student organization. Student members gain professional competence by linking with other members worldwide to obtain information and contacts. Meetings are usually held jointly with the Bluegrass Chapter of the American Society for Metals and give students the opportunity to interact with professional engineers from industry, academia and government.

The department sponsors Alpha Sigma Mu, a national materials engineering honor society to recognize and promote high scholarship, original investigation and professional service by its undergraduate students.
