... is the official college-wide students’ society of the College of Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan. Our purpose is to serve the interests of the students in the college.

Engineering Graduate Community Council (EGCC)

...serving the engineering graduate student community at the University of Saskatchewan. It enhances the collaboration among graduate students of various disciplines at the college.

Student Discipline Groups

Who are we? The Executive of the Chemical Engineering Student Society is comprised of individuals elected by students of the college to represent their interests. Elections are held every April for the oncoming year.

What do we do? Our representatives facilitate social outings, conduct tutorials and organize graduation ceremonies for students who convocate in the spring.

Our Mission: ChESS was formed with the purpose to build relationships and foster a community within the Department of Chemical Engineering.

How can I participate in events or get involved with ChESS?  You can contact us by email at chess.president@sess.usask.ca

... represents, serves, and supports the students enrolled in Civil Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan.

... is an active student group that represents environmental engineers at the University of Saskatchewan by providing for the academic and social needs of our students and maintaining an official link between the students and the College.

... represents the interests of those attending the UofS for the study of Geological Engineering.

We are an extremely active student branch of the IEEE, based at the University of Saskatchewan. Our branch was first established in 1957. We handle all the social, academic, and charitable needs of the Electrical and Computer Engineering undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Saskatchewan.

Student Design Teams

Huskie Formula Racing is an interdisciplinary group of University of Saskatchewan students working together to design and build an open wheeled formula-style race car to compete in the Formula SAE (FSAE) student design competition. The team involves students from all of the different engineering disciplines, students from the Edwards School of Business, College of Arts and Science and many of the other colleges.

The Steel Bridge Design Team or Bridge City Bridge Team is a Civil Engineering student group that builds 1:10 scaled bridges with steel.  We will then compete with our design at an international level against other Colleges. we conduct our own design, analysis, and construction of bridge based on the criteria outlined in the current year rules provided by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Click below to view the 2018 Steel Bridge Competition rules.

If you have a passion for aviation, or love to design, build, and fly planes, or want to gain technical and soft skills that will look amazing on your resume, or all of the above, then this could be for you!

Each year the team designs and builds a complete tractor prototype by implementing innovative elements to prove on the success of previous years. Apart from the competition specified engine and rear tires, the entire design strategy and responsibility is in the hands of the team.

The USST is a team of more than 30 students from multiple colleges who share a passion for space and space-related technologies. The team is currently working on its Mars rover project, which regularly competes internationally, as well as its CubeSat project that is expected to launch into space in 2021.

Student Professional Associations

The branch’s first priority is to involve our local students from the University of Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan Polytechnic campus. This direct link between our branch members and the CIM Saskatoon Student Chapter has provided the students with preparation and guidance for the next generation of leaders in the mining industry.

The University of Saskatchewan is home to one of the 36 Engineers Without Borders chapters across Canada. We focus on development issues across the globe and work to make a difference both overseas and here in Canada. Our chapter is filled with students who are passionate, motivated, and excited about change.

Through local student chapters and international programs, SPE serves over 73,000 student members globally. We offer many resources and opportunities for students to expand their knowledge and enhance their skills.
