The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) UNH student chapter serves as a resource to chemical and bio engineers. This organization provides networking and professional development opportunities through student meetings, guest speakers, trips, tutoring, and regional and national conferences.
Hear from professionals in the field: The chapter hosts meetings throughout the semester and outside speakers are brought in to talk about their career or projects they have worked on. This is a great opportunity to meet professionals and see what civil engineers do on a daily basis. This is a perfect way to network with professionals and increase your chances of obtaining an internship or entry-level position.
Team Building Opportunities: The chapter has various opportunities to work with other civil engineering students on projects and community service events. ASCE-UNH members can participate in the steel bridge team, concrete canoe team, and other team building projects such as the bocce court project. Students at all levels can participate and contribute to any of the team building activities. It is a great way to meet other civil engineering students outside the classroom.
Community Service: The chapter participates in various community service events to give back to the community. In the past, the chapter has collected gifts for Toys for Tots during the holiday season and visited the Peace Air Force Base in Portsmouth to greet soldiers coming home from overseas. In the future, the chapter is looking to participate in Habitat for Humanity to help build homes for those in need.
The Cyber Security Club brings together individuals interested in aspects of privacy and security within various technologies.

Any interested student is invited to partake and urged to come to the meetings and events.
The International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE) is the largest life science professional association in the world. We are a network of pharmaceutical & biotech professionals, students, and scientists that are dedicated to providing career development and educational resources to our members. ISPE is not just for engineers, we are the single most useful resource for any science related major who is interested in starting a career in life sciences. ISPE UNH is on track to be the largest student chapter in the world; we are growing fast, and always looking for new student members, especially those who are looking to take on chapter responsibilities.
The Linux Club is an Open Source community built on the premise of sharing knowledge and experience of the Linux operating system environment with others. Club activities include weekly presentations on topics of interest selected by club members, as well as break-out groups to provide technical support to peers, and also to participate in activities that provide hands-on experience.
The UNH LunaCats is an interdisciplinary team of students devoted to the design and construction a martian mining robot for NASA's Robotic Mining Competition (RMC). The team also performs outreach in the local area to get kids excited about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).
NSBE is a non-profit, student-run organization dedicated to the academic and professional success of multicultural engineering and technical students. NSBE-UNH is open to all and we aim to work collaboratively with faculty, staff, and other organizations here on campus for the betterment of all UNH students. Together let us all live our motto “to increase the number of culturally responsible black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the community” proactively here at UNH and in the state of New Hampshire.
We get together and solve difficult math problems in preparation for the Putnam Exam.
The premier national mathematics honor society. Our goal is to recognize and promote excellence in mathematics, both within our society and with the public.
The UNH Chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) provides students with an opportunity to explore the fields of transportation and aerospace engineering with others who share similar interests. This is a student organization which works closely with a faculty advisor to arrange tours, guest speakers, and student projects related to these fields. Student members also receive a monthly magazine and newsletter published by SAE as well as notifications of conferences and publications related to the transportation industry. The cornerstones of the UNH SAE Chapter are the annual Mini-Baja and the Formula SAE projects.
The Society of Physics Students is a group of physics undergraduate students and anyone else who strive to bring the UNH physics community together and connect undergraduate interests with faculty and university resources.
Several of our students are actively involved in the Students without Borders organization. Students without Borders is a multi-disciplinary organization. Its mission is to encourage, support and implement environmentally and economically sustainable technical projects in disadvantaged communities nationally and internationally, while developing globally responsible and knowledgeable students.
Tau Beta Pi is the only engineering honor society representing the entire engineering profession. It is the nation's second-oldest honor society, founded at Lehigh University in 1885 to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as students in engineering.
There is an active chapter of Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honor society, in the college. Outstanding students from all four engineering departments who meet the rigorous academic standards are eligible. The society performs a number of community outreach projects each year. They have also established the Outstanding Engineering Teacher's Award which is given to one faculty member in each engineering department on an annual basis.
