- Community Building: Strengthening connections through social events.
Who Can Join:
The USC primarily comprises of year 1 to year 4 EE and CEG cohort representatives, and the presidents of three student clubs, namely, the ECE Club, IEEE NUS Student Branch and IEEE HKN NUS Chapter.
The ECE USC welcomes students passionate about leadership, student welfare, and event planning. Whether you want to represent your cohort or contribute your skills in organizing events or designing publicity, USC offers a platform for you to make a meaningful impact.
Recent and Ongoing Activities
Freshmen Welcome Party (FWP)
To extend a warm welcome to incoming freshmen, the USC organises the annual Freshmen Welcome Party (FWP). During this event, freshmen have the opportunity to forge new friendships beyond their classrooms through various bonding activities! Moreover, they can meet their academic advisors, who offer guidance on a wide range of academic matters, including module selections and specialisations. Our aim is to provide freshmen with a brief respite from the bustling university life that ensues after their academic journey begins.
Internships and Career Fair (ICF)
The USC wholeheartedly backs the career development of ECE students. To this end, we work closely with the ECE Department to organise the annual Internships and Career Fair (ICF), where we extend invitations to more than 20 renowned employers seeking ECE graduates. This event has seen tremendous success in previous years, attracting over 700 students in a single day.
Â
Graduation Farewell Party (Grad Party)
The USC annually hosts a graduation party dedicated to the graduating cohorts. Our involvement includes sourcing for suitable event venues, meticulously planning the event flow and performances, and procuring gifts and merchandise. This initiative is designed to offer graduating seniors one final, unforgettable gathering with their batchmates before bidding farewell to NUS.
Student Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC)
As representatives of the ECE student body, the USC holds the privilege and responsibility of addressing various concerns, which encompass courses, student life activities, and mental health, among others. Consequently, the USC is an integral part of the SSLC, which is a semester meeting with professors, module coordinators, faculty representatives, and other relevant parties to deliberate on the aforementioned issues.
Other Ad-Hoc Events
The USC takes pride in hosting a variety of new initiatives and events, which are shaped by student feedback and internal discussions. For instance, in response to the cohort's desire for increased student life activities, we organised events like a board game day, a bubble tea distribution, and a movie night.
