It is active in organizing events, in enhancing student life, in benefiting engineering students, and acting as a means of communication between students, student groups, and the administration. In the past year, ESAC has planned several lectures and events to benefit the Penn engineering community. ESAC is the umbrella organization for all engineering clubs.
Monthly meetings are open to all students, and officers from each engineering organization attend.
Each semester the Engineering Student Activities Council is responsible for conducting an evaluation of SEAS courses. Results of these evaluations are available in the Office of Academic Programs, Room 111 Towne Building and Towne Library, Room 217 Towne Building. Each department is affiliated with a national professional organization. Each of these organizations has a chapter at Penn, which becomes a club for undergraduate students. Typically, these clubs will organize alumni speakers, plant tours, recreational events and parties.
