The complete list of ALL 1,000+ UF student organizations can be found on the GatorConnect page. Students join organizations and design teams to gain experience, join a community of peers working towards a common goal, and build their social and professional networks. It’s up to you to decide which organizations and how many organizations to join! Since you are an engineering student, it is encouraged that you join at least one engineering-related organization. The quality of your involvement (depth of contributions and long-term commitment) is valued more than quantity.
You can see department-sponsored and College-sponsored organizations by using the category filter feature found at the top left. You can also search for a particular word using the search bar at the top right. This list of engineering-related organizations has been carefully created by the HWCOE Center for Experiential Learning.

Membership: EA is open to all majors in the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, as well as Computer Science students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. There are no restrictions on what year of your degree you are in! All undergraduate students with a minimum 3.0 GPA, one current involvement in an engineering-based organization or previous internship/research experience, and one to two letters of recommendation are welcome to apply. Graduate students can also apply, and the same requirements remain, however, they must also have completed their undergraduate degree at the University of Florida. Beyond the minimum requirements stated above, the application contains a few short-essay questions to get to know applicants better. There are a host of recruitment events that take place during the application cycle to get to know the current cohort of Engineering Ambassadors better, with this application cycle typically starting in mid-late November with our Fall Info Session. The applications to EA are due by the end of January. Between then, various events, like Game Night, Field Day, Formal Meet & Greet, and a Personal Events Week are other recruitment events to learn more about Engineering Ambassadors and its members. All members of EA are required to earn 10 points each semester, which are broken up into three categories: Events, Service, & Social. Each point is worth one hour of time. Six event points must be earned, with at least one of those points coming from providing a tour. Two service points and two social points must be earned as well, which are completed by attending the respective service and social events created by other members of EA.
