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: SwampHacks’ mission is to plan and execute a large-scale hackathon (A hackathon is an event where people engage in rapid collaborative engineering over a relatively short period usually between 24, 36, or 48 hours) and related events where college students from around the country, and of any skill level, may learn computing skills, network with others in the computing industry, and compete in a safe and inclusive environment that fosters success and innovation. SwampHacks will host an annual hackathon which is the primary focus of the organization. The hackathon will consist of opening and closing ceremonies, workshops, challenges, and social events in a 36-hour timeframe. SwampHacks will also host workshops, challenges, and social events outside of the 36-hour hackathon. The SwampHacks hackathon must occur in the Spring or Fall of the UF academic year.
SwampHacks is open to students of all majors with any level of experience! We provide students with the resources to build their ideas through workshops and mentorship during our event. Applications for our hackathon in early-Spring will be released in mid-Fall on our website!
