Get Involved

Our majors have many different ways to get involved in our department.

Industrial Systems & Engineering Club

The goal of the this organization is to become more familiar with the opportunities in industrial engineering primarily geared to engineering majors, and all are welcome. They plan to assist in possible projects around the campus, invite practitioners of the field to campus, and to have at least one field trip a year. The members of Industrial & Systems Engineering Club wish to cultivate ways for members to strive in their future careers by practicing collaboration, consistency, and community.

This club is actively striving on becoming a part of the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE).

To find out more, join on CORE or reach out to Dr. Jun Zhang and Dr. Shah Limon (advisors).

Physics & Engineering Club

The Physics and Engineering club is designed to serve as a community for everyone in the Physics and Engineering department. The club meets twice a month and students are encouraged to attend and connect with their peers. The club tries to hold social events to provide a time and place for students to meet outside of their studies, and take a break from school. Typical events include bowling at Coffaro's, movie nights, or a night of watching TED talks. Once a semester the club invites a guest speaker to talk to the club, past speakers include past graduates who share their experiences working in industry and the current job market. The club also tries to take a group trip once a year, such as driving down to the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh.

Society of Physics Students (SPS)

The Society of Physics Students (SPS) is a professional association for students who are interested in Physics. SPS is also home to the National Physics Honor Society, Sigma Pi Sigma, which elects its members based on outstanding academic achievement.

Society of Women Engineers (SWE)

The Society of Women Engineers is an international non-profit organization and the world's largest advocate and catalyst for change for women in engineering and technology. SWE’s mission is to Empower women to achieve their full potential in careers as engineers and leaders; expand the image of the engineering and technology professions as a positive force in improving the quality of life and demonstrate the value of diversity and inclusion. The section at SRU aims to provide a safe and welcoming community for Women in Engineering and Allies following the international organizations mission and values.

To find out more about SWE, join on CORE or contact Dr. Robabeh Jazaei (advisor).

Student Research

SRU Physics and Engineering majors have the opportunity to be involved in faculty/student research projects in the areas of liquid crystals, nanotechnology, material science, computational physics and astrophysics.
