It is very important to point out the many student organizations located in the CoE. Many organizations are department specific and many of these are also professional student chapters. When walking along the sixth floor in Baldwin point out the organizational offices (most organizations have or share an office) and briefly discuss what each organization is and what they do for the College of Engineering and its students (Tribunal, SWE, Theta Tau, NSBE, EA, EWB, etc).
A few of the organizations offer study sessions for underclassmen, these are good ways to get help and begin to work on the student's networking skills. Many new friendships are formed in these sessions and they also help get students into the effective study environment that dorms and other housing situations may not offer.
Students can join most of the organizations from their first quarter on campus and they can join organizations outside of their major. Organizations can help make adjusting to college easier for some students and in many cases organizations allow students to begin networking with their professors in some organizations.
