Whether you want to help bring computer science to youth in the community, team up to build a new game or compete in the next hackathon, there's a club for you!

Learn about student clubs and teams in Engineering and Computer Science.

Engineering and Computer Science Students' Society (ECSS)

The ECSS offers events, services and opportunities for all engineering and computer science students. Every student is automatically a member.

Key activities include assisting Camp 23 with the Iron Ring Ceremony, hosting academic and industry competitions and running charity events like Bug Push and Order of Pi. Check us out in ELW 206, at the top of the stairs!

UVic Women in Engineering and Computer Science (WECS)

WECS is dedicated to supporting women and gender-non-confirming people studying engineering and computer science.

Women make up around 19% of students in the faculty of Engineering and Computer Science. We hope that by providing women with more opportunities and community support, that number will continue to rise.

UVic GameDev

This club is focused on gaming and making games, whether professionally or for fun, solo or in teams. Game developers of all disciplines and skill levels are encouraged to check them out. Most of the action happens on the group’s Discord server.

Members from across UVic enjoy regular party games, movie nights and social events in addition to Minecraft and other games. Computer Science and Software Engineering students have played key roles in this group. A great place to meet new people.
