Student Leaders
There are no requirements to become a chapter leader or member.
Most student leaders will have not started a new club at their school before!
You can do this--we will show you how!
Why become a student leader?
Develop skills
- Learn to start a new club at your school
- Work closely with a teacher who will advise you
- Develop presentation skills and experience
- Organize how the club will run and when it will meet
- Invite your friends and classmates
- Elect chapter officers
- Develop activities for chapter meetings
Add all of the above to your college applications!
Faculty Advisor
A faculty advisor is required for an FENGA student chapter.
The advisor supports students on their engineering journey and helps facilitate meetings.
The students run the meetings themselves, using content provided by FENGA.
If you are a faculty member, we have information available for:
- Sponsoring a FENGA student chapter.
- Identifying students who would benefit from FENGA
- Leadership training to create student chapter leaders
- Securing school approvals
- Promoting membership
