External Division
The External division seeks to increase engineering awareness. The
External committees include E-Week, FAME, Philanthropy, and TREC.
E-Week -- The National Engineers Week (E-Week) committee is
responsible for spreading engineering to all other students on campus.
The committee runs an entire week of events, usually in February,
where the main goals are increasing engineering awareness and
breaking the common engineering stereotypes. This is a very dynamic
committee that can easily incorporate new ideas every year.
Development Division
The Development division targets the professional
advancement aspect of the SEC mission statement. The Development
committees include Career Fair, Corporate Relations, Engineering
Development, and Finance.
Career Fair -- The Career Fair is SEC's largest and most visible
event of the year. The goal of the Texas A&M Engineering Career Fair is
to provide students with the opportunity to visit with recruiters from
hundreds of companies seeking engineers for internships, co-ops, and
full-time positions. The committee organizes and plans the career fair
in both the Spring and Fall semesters. The event is held at Texas A&M's
Reed Arena, where recruiters set up booths for their company. In the
past, Texas A&M's Engineering Career Fair, the largest student-run
career fair in the nation, has drawn in over 4,000 students to visit with
more than 350 companies.
Ad-hoc Committees
