Promoting Opportunities for Women in Engineering (POWE)

POWE is a student run group under the Engineering Undergraduate Society of McGill University. Our goals are to encourage the presence of women in engineering and to increase awareness about the amazing contributions women have made to engineering. POWE has two main portfolios: providing resources and running events to help current engineering students at McGill with professional development, and encouraging younger girls to pursue engineering and STEM careers through a variety of outreach events.

For current engineering students, some of the initiatives we have are:

  • Professional Mentorship Program: We connect you with a mentor in an industry you are interested in for career advice and job application tips.
  • Networking Events: Each year, we host two networking events that allows students to connect with industry professionals.
  • Professional development workshops and alumni speaker events  

If you are looking to get involved, you can send an email to powe [at] mcgilleus.ca (POWE). For more information on our initiatives, you can visit the POWE website or the POWE Facebook page!

 

National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE)

The mission of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) is to increase the number of culturally responsible students who excel academically to also succeed professionally and thereby make a positive impact in the community. Our objectives are to stimulate and develop interest in engineering, sciences and business. We encourage members to seek advanced degrees in their fields and to obtain professional registrations. NSBE's activities include tutorial programs, group study sessions, high school/junior high outreach programs, technical seminars and workshops, a national communication network (NSBENET), two national magazines (NSBE Magazine and the NSBE Bridge), an internal newsletter, a professional newsletter (The Career Engineer), resumé books, career fairs, awards, banquets and an annual national convention.

Architecture Students' Association (ASA)

The Architecture Students' Association is a non-profit student-run society within the School of Architecture. As a McGill Architecture student, you are automatically a member of the ASA. The society serves as an organizational body for student activities and affairs, a voice for students in academic and university issues at McGill, and a link between other schools of architecture across the country. Chaired by the President, the ASA is run by an Executive Council, which is composed of five Vice President portfolios: External, Academic, University, Internal and Finance. Each class also elects a student Representative to sit on the Council, which meets biweekly.

National Organization for Business & Engineering (NOBE)

Ever found yourself thinking that there must be more to life than calculus and 14-page formula sheets? Being an engineer doesn’t mean you need to spend the rest of your days drudging over projects in a cubicle! Being an engineer can mean starting a business as an entrepreneur, tackling strategic problems as a consultant, figuring out how to get the world's economy in order as an investment banker, or finding creative ways to sell products as a marketer!

We are the National Organization for Business and Engineering (NOBE) and we strive to give engineering students the opportunity to explore potential career paths in business! Most of the advanced problem solving and qualitative work you perform throughout your degree will teach you to do one thing: think critically. And guess what - the world of business needs a lot more of that.

Develop your soft skills through our WORKSHOPS were we go over everything from crafting the perfect resume (for whatever your target internship in business), to our BLANK for Dummies series where professionals from consulting, finance, accounting and everything in-between go over the basics of their industries. NETWORK with recruiters and professionals from top tier companies like McKinsey, Accenture, the Boston Consulting Group, Amazon, Apple and L’Oreal to learn about their internship opportunities. Finally - get hands on experience with our annual CASE COMPETITION, the NOBE Business Case Competition (NBCC), just for engineering students! Whether you’re a beginner or a case cracking pro, our competition serves the engineering community by giving them feedback from actual consultants.
