SAE teaches students skills beyond their rigorous curriculum at CMU by providing them with practical experience and integration with industry. SAE works as a team to design, build, and race a formula car in the Formula SAE Michigan competition each year.

Carnegie Mellon Solar Racing (CMSR)

CMSR is an undergraduate engineering organization dedicated to promoting and using solar energy. The CMSR team researches, designs, and engineers all aspects of a solar-electric boat and competes in races worldwide, including the Solar1 Grand Prix (Monaco), the DONG Energy Solar Challenge (The Netherlands), and Solar Splash. Each race tests all aspects of the boat's design, speed, agility, sustainability, and endurance.

Carnegie Mellon Transportation Club

The Carnegie Mellon University Transportation Club aims to expose students to transportation-related classes, promote transportation research opportunities, be a platform for networking and collaboration amongst students, faculty, and industry leaders, and raise awareness of employment opportunities in the transportation industry.

Chemical Engineering Car (ChemE Car)

We compete in the AlChE Chem-E-Car Competition using a model car powered by chemical reactions. Each year, we work on designing the car itself and devising different reactions to both propel and stop it. Our club provides members with technical experience outside of the classroom, as well as networking opportunities within and outside their fields. All majors are welcome!

Environment & Water Resources Institute (EWRI)

Graduate Student Chapter at CMU
The EWRI CMU Graduate Chapter allows students and professionals to connect and share information on planning, designing, and constructing environmentally sustainable infrastructure impacting water resources. This chapter will have various events throughout the year, both on campus and in Pittsburgh, to develop professional and networking skills.

Engineers Without Borders (EWB)

The Carnegie Mellon chapter of Engineers Without Borders is part of a national nonprofit organization with a network of over 1,000 professionals and students working to reduce poverty and improve global sustainability. The Carnegie Mellon Chapter of EWB-USA is involved with international community development projects in India and Ecuador and also conducts research through the university on topics relevant to sustainability.
