The American Water Works Association Student Chapter at San Diego State University was founded in Fall of 2013 by six individuals who believed there should be an avenue for engineering students and scientists to become educated about the water industry outside of the classroom. Thus, the AWWA student chapter at SDSU was born.

Currently, we are one of five student chapters in the state of California representing a large nation-wide organization. A core function of AWWA-SDSU is to allow students to facilitate themselves into the professional sphere of the water industry. One of the most valuable experiences students will have within this organization are various networking opportunities at our biweekly meetings and conferences.

Dedicated to the purpose of maintaining and promoting the status of civil engineering as an ideal profession, Chi Epsilon was organized to recognize the characteristics of the individual civil engineer deemed to be fundamental to the successful pursuit of an engineering career, and to aid in the development of those characteristics in the civil engineering student. Engineering, the application of scientific principles to the practical needs of society, is assuming a constantly increasing responsibility for the well-being of all people, and thus calling for competence of the highest order. This responsibility can be discharged only by a professional group whose members are possessed of a good basic technical ability, intelligence, moral integrity, and effective social poise in their relationship with the larger community of which they are part. To contribute to the improvement of the profession, Chi Epsilon fosters the development and exercise of sound traits of character and technical ability among civil engineers, and its members, by precept and example, toward an ever-higher standard of professional service.

Design Build Fly (DBF) is a student-run organization established to compete in the Design Build Fly Competition, an international university competition hosted each year in the spring by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), Cessna Aircraft Company, and Raytheon Missile Systems.

The Design Build Fly Competition is a unique competition as the rules for the competition are changed every year, giving students the challenge of a new design. This gives Design Build Fly the benefit of not becoming stagnant, as we move rapidly from preliminary design to flying in an extremely short period of time. The only constant of the competition is that students are required to design and manufacture an unmanned, electric-powered, radio-controlled aircraft to compete in a series of design missions.

We strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment where students have the opportunity to work collaboratively and obtain practical hands-on experience, apply and further their knowledge to not just in engineering, but also communications, logistics, business, and much more.

Our goals are not just to compete in the competition, but to also supplement the education and expand the networks of our members with industry professionals so that they can achieve their personal, academic, and career goals. We welcome SDSU students of all majors, as our mission requires many different skill sets.
