ASCE is one of the lowest maintenance clubs you can join-all we ask is that you show up! By attending meetings you'll gain valuable insight into our profession, network with individuals and firms who are usually looking to hire directly from UMaine, engage with your peers and make new friends. You will also gain access to membership with ASCE as an international organization (completely free for students) and all of the opportunities and resources that come with that. We hold weekly meetings (now over Zoom, but when we meet in-person we would always have pizza) where a speaker gives a presentation. Topics can be focused on soft skills, such as resume and interview workshops, the many resources offered by the Career Center, or students speaking about internship experiences. They also be technical, such as landslide case studies, the process of building new bridges in residential areas, landfill management and enviornmental remediation, powerplant retrofitting and updating, and much much more. We also coordinate social events and volunteer opportunities throughout the semester. Membership dues are waived for this year, and we will be trying out lots of new and exciting opportunities to socialize and foster community remotely!

ASME participates in a wide variety of engineering related activities. We host local club comptetitions to promote design and building, two very important aspects to mechanical engineering. Some of the projects we have done in the past are catapults, RC boats, bottle rockets, cardboard canoes and a coaster car. The projects provide members with hands on experience that is not gained in the classroom. ASME also goes on tours of engineering facilities to educate students on what it's like to be a real engineer. We volunteer at the engineering expo every year to get young students interested in our field. We provide tutoring and resume help to members when it's needed. We have had speakers come in to discuss their careers with us.

he purpose of the Economics Club is to create a community for students to socialize, collaborate, and discuss economics. We also aim to encourage and promote student research within the school of economics. We will have events like economics trivia nights, movie nights, fundraisers, and research presentations. With these research presentations, anyone in the UMaine Economics community (Faculty, Staff, and Students) will be able to present past research. This research can be anything: a term paper, a senior capstone, a graduate thesis, a Ph.D. Thesis, or a journal article. Our goal is to show undergraduates, especially first and second year students, how economic research looks through all levels of academia. These presentations can be a formal 30 minute explanation, or a short informal 5 minute introduction to the topic.

Food Science Club's format has changed a bit for this year: we usually do some fundraisers like cookie deliveries, providing food at the Homecoming Craft Fair, prepare food together, have culinary demonstrations, etc. Since these would not be safe activities in our current circumstances, we are focusing on creating resources for students interested in food science--especially those interested in pursing a career in the field. We are food scientists from the industry join our Zoom meetings to give short talks about what they do, and we are creating flyers, infographics, and videos that detail different branches of food science, such as food chemistry, product development, and sensory evaluation. Additionally, we offer a fun virtual activity every meeting where members can relax and get to know each other, whether that involves making simple recipes "together but apart" over Zoom, watching food documentaries, debating the objective superiority of different foods, food trivia games, or guessing the food product using only the ingredient list.

The UMaine Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) club seeks to create an opportunity for students of any major to take part in the many aspects of designing a vehicle for an SAE design competition. UMaine SAE's primary goal is to compete in a North American SAE Collegiate Competition where teams across the nation are judged based on their design, cost report, and racing abilities. Currently, the UMaine SAE club is in the design phase of constructing a Baja vehicle for competition. So far, the frame has been designed in SolidWorks and the club is now diving into a weight estimate and determining/designing the suspension system. In order to compete in a Collegiate Competition, UMaine SAE must design a vehicle, acquire funds to create the vehicle, and then contruct the vehicle from the frame up. To accomplish this tremendous challenge, UMaine SAE is comprised of student volunteers who collaborate and learn from each other and from availalbe faculty or mentors. In doing so, members will gain valuable experience applicable to real-world scenarios, giving them a leading edge for employment.
