Engineering Employment Expo
The Engineering Employment Expo is one of the nation's largest student run job fairs. Employers from all engineering disciplines and from all areas of the country attend to recruit UIUC engineering graduates.
Engineering Open House
Engineering Open House (EOH) showcases accomplishments in engineering to the public. Thousands of visitors, mostly from the Midwest, attend the two day, student run event. EOH is a great forum for teaching a broad variety of audiences about how engineering affects their lives.
Engineering Student Leadership Conference
The Engineering Student Leadership Conference (ESLC) is geared toward current student leaders that are interested in holding a leadership position within an organization. The conference focucses on sharing information and ideas among organization leaders.
Engineers Book
The Engineers Book (E-Book) is a daily planner distributed for free to students in the College of Engineering.

Engineers Night
Engineers Night (E-Night) is a recruiting event for Engineering Council committees and societies. At E-Night, students learn how they can get involved in various engineering organizations. Free refreshments, raffles, and jousting help make the event more laid back and fun.
Engineers Week
Engineers Week (E-Week) is a time to celebrate the advances that have been made in the world, the people who have made them, and those who continue to work toward innovative goals in technology and society. Many Engineering Council committees and societies conduct events during E-Week.
Graduate School Conference
The Graduate School Conference familiarizes students with the different options for graduate engineering study at UIUC as well as other programs such as law, medicine, and business. Undergraduate students can speak with professors and graduate students to learn more about life as a graduate student.
Knights of St. Pat Ball
The Knights of St. Pat Ball honors the Knights of St. Pat, the highest honor an undergraduate student can receive in the College of Engineering. A Knight of St. Pat demonstrates leadership, academic excellence, and exceptional contribution to the College of Engineering and its students. Each year's class of knights is selected by a committee of previous knights.
Student Engineering Leadership Program
The Student Engineering Leadership Program (SELP) allows approximately forty-five students to participate in three days of intensive and interactive leadership training. These students will learn leadership and communication skills vital to their success. SELP is offered at no cost to all students enrolled in an engineering curriculum at UIUC.
Student Introduction to Engineering
Student Introduction to Engineering (SITE) is a three day event that acquaints accepted high school seniors with the educational opportunites and campus life for engineering students. Participants engage in panel discussions with current students, design contests, and many other activities. SITE seeks to give these students a sneak peak of what to expect come fall.
Undergraduate Research Workshop
The Undergraduate Research Workshop is an opportunity for undergraduate students to learn more about participating in research. Many ungergraduates believe that they are unable to conduct research, but this workshop helps them get involved. Each spring, this workshop unites undergraduate students interested in research with professors looking for undergraduate help.
