Don’t miss out! Top 13 things to do at NYUSOE.
It’s Welcome Week 2015 at NYU and thousands of new students are being overwhelmed with things to try at school and in NYC. At the NYU School of Engineering there are hundreds of awesome events, clubs, startups, classes–you get the idea–for students to get involved in. But here’s our list of the 13 programs we think every engineering student at NYU should know about (listed by semester).
FALL
Deadline: September 4, 2015 SPIKE Internships
You may have heard that Forbes Magazine named NYU one of the top schools in the country for entrepreneurs. The reason: top-notch facilities like the Leslie e-Lab and the NYU School of Engineering Incubators. Each year our incubators offer paid student internships at some of NYC’s hottest startups in software, hardware and green technologies through the SPIKE Program. Don’t drag your feet! The application deadline is September 4th, 2015.

This is your chance to get involved! Snag some free food and giveaways while learning all about our student clubs like Polybots, National Society of Black Engineers, Graduate Indian Students Association, and the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Association!
September 17-18, 2015 Engineering & Technology Fall Career Fair
Dust off your suit and tie, this two-day career fair is a great way to meet with a large number of employers from diverse industries. Explore full-time, part-time and internship opportunities. We highly recommend you visit the Wasserman Center before attending to get interview tips and help preparing your resume and be sure to check out Wasserman’s tips for making the most of a career fair.
September 25, 2015 NYC Media Lab Summit
Join 1000 people including industry innovators, university faculty and students to see hundreds of demos including prototypes, projects and research ranging from data, mobile, video, virtual reality, hardware and more. NYC Media Lab connects media and technology companies with NYC's universities to create a new community of innovators.The NYC Media Lab is located at the NYU School of Engineering.
November 12-14, 2015 Cyber Security Awareness Week
Be sure to check out CSAW, the largest student-run cyber security event in the nation: a weekend of competitions, industry talks and events to prepare best-performing students with the skills and knowledge to shape the future of the industry.

Deadline: October 2, 2015 The NYU Prototyping Fund in the ‘Greenhouse’
Located in the basement of Rogers Hall, the Greenhouse Innovation Space is a collaborative workspace and favorite hangout spot of engineering student allstars. The Greenhouse offers popular skillshare workshops like Arduino Play Time and Show and Tell . Each Fall and Spring the Greenhouse teams up with NYU Entrepreneurship Institute to present the NYU Prototyping Fund, which supports student hardware and software prototypes with up to $500 in funding! (Applications are due October 2, 2015.)Be sure to follow the Greenhouse blog for more workshops and events.
SPRING
February-April, 2016 Inno/Vention Prototyping Competition
The Inno/Vention Prototyping Competition challenges NYU students to validate, prototype and pitch commercially viable ideas for real world problems. The goal is to build a robust culture of competition at the School of Engineering that drives innovation through ideation and entrepreneurship and ultimately encourages students to take part in the NYU Entrepreneur’s Challenge and NYU Summer LaunchPad.
May, 2016 Integrated Digital Media Program Showcase
Part live performance, part technology demo, the Integrated Digital Media Showcase features work by genre-bending designers, artists and technologists studying at the NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering. This work is experimental, highly technical, and also just plain cool.
May, 2016 Research Expo
The annual School of Engineering Research Expo is when our ground-breaking faculty and student researchers show off their work. Be sure to check out Technical.ly Brooklyn’s coverage of last year’s expo.
February, 2015 Major Expo
The purpose of this event is to provide a centralized location for students to explore the possibilities that exist within the academic spectrum at the School of Engineering. Open to all undergraduate students, those in attendance will be able to ask members of the faculty questions about their current majors (or those that they are actively considering), minor and concentration options, and research opportunities.
April, 2016 Graduate Indian Student Association (GISA)’s Annual Party
We highly suggest following GISA on Facebook and Twitter. Not only are they one of the most active clubs, they also host some of the best events on campus. Last year their annual party, Rang De, featured diverse cultural performances, Indian food, comedy and–no joke–a Prom Night Cruise.
The show is on!! fire #Junoon

SUMMER
July-August, 2016 Summer STEM Programs
School of Engineering students intern year-round at the NYU Polytechnic Center for K-12 STEM Education, serving as mentors and teachers in programs like NYC FIRST, one of the biggest Lego Robotics Leagues in the country. But the highlight of each year is our ‘Summer of STEM’ when NYU engineering students help teach thousands of NYC school students and their teachers new skills in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Students interested in paid internships with the Center for K-12 STEM can email resumes to [email protected] at any time. Or, stop by their office in Rogers Hall (6 Metrotech Center) and say 'hello'.
July-August, 2016 Summer Research Programs
Each summer, members of the School of Engineering faculty open up their world-class research labs to provide NYU School of Engineering, NYU CAS/SOE 3+2 and NYU Abu Dhabi rising junior and senior undergraduate students 10 weeks of hands-on research under faculty mentorship. Students work full time in the lab with their faculty mentors on research topics while also participating in weekly seminars presented by distinguished personnel. In addition, lunches where students can present the research they have completed to non-specialists and think across disciplines are held. At the end of the program, abstracts of the research are published and presented to incoming students during Undergraduate Orientation. Abstracts from previous years' programs are available.
