What We Do

Engineering Welcome Day

Engineering Welcome Day is an orientation event for roughly 700 incoming engineering freshmen and transfer students.

As ESA's first event of the school year, the purpose of this event is to first and foremost, serve as a forum where students have the opportunity to network with faculty, staff, alumni and peers in an effort to create a smooth transition to UCLA Engineering and to inform students of resources that are available to them to assist in their academic and professional success.

Student Leaders Luncheon

The roundtable luncheon is a quarterly meeting among the Presidents and Vice Presidents of the various engineering student organizations and individuals from UCLA Engineering's Office of Academic and Student Affairs.

The purpose of this meeting is to maintain a flow of communication between student organizations and the administration.

Startup Fair

UCLA Engineering organizations held its first ever StartUp fair in the Fall of 2013. Similar to a typical career fair, this event features companies strictly from the local startup community.

The purpose of this event is to provide engineers the opportunity to learn more about the startup culture. In addition to the startup company representatives attending to recruit UCLA Engineers, this event features several panel discussions aimed towards providing students with the proper skills to succeed in their own business ventures.

Executive Committee Meeting

The Executive Committee Meeting (ExComm) is a meeting between the Presidents and Vice Presidents of the various engineering student organizations.

This meeting takes place after the Roundtable Luncheon, and serves as a follow-up discussion that expands upon topics brought up during the Roundtable Luncheon. The purpose of this event is to sustain effective communication between the engineering clubs on campus.

Engineering Alumni Mixer

The Engineering Alumni Mixer is centered around connecting current students and alumni.

In an effort to bridge the gap of communication between current students and alumni, this event provides us all with the opportunity to strengthen the bonds of UCLA Engineering and foster a closer knit community.

Engineering Leadership Conference

Engineering Leadership Conference is a collaborative event between ESA's corporate affiliates and nearly 200 student leaders within UCLA Engineering.

The purpose of this event is to enhance leadership skills and promote effective communication between student leaders.
