First Year Engineering Council (FYEC)

The First Year Engineering Council is the First-Year division of the Engineering Leadership Council. In this role, we work to establish a meaningful relationship between the students and faculty of the Notre Dame College of Engineering. Through our events, we provide engaging opportunities for students to learn, interact, and serve. We enable First-Year students to explore the various fields within engineering and volunteer in the South Bend community.

Be on the lookout in your inbox for instructions on how to apply to be a part of FYEC!
