Application Development logo

Application Development is an organization that allows students to obtain hands on experience in the world of computer science outside of the normal learning environment. Students of all levels and majors come together to participate in an agile development work environment to develop an app of our choosing. Throughout the semester we incorporate workshops, coding competitions, and guest speakers into our club's weekly agenda.

UNT’s Cyber Security Club provides students with an opportunity to learn about the concepts and techniques of Information Security paired with the chance to network with current security professionals in the North Texas regions. We are currently involved with volunteering at the North Texas chapter of Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) and the Dallas chapter of Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). These students get to attend these professional organization events and network with professionals. Several of our students have received internships and job offers because of volunteering at these events. We compete at several national InfoSec competitions including both the National Cyber League (NCL) and the Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC). The training received as a result in completing this competitions help provide students with the knowledge and experience to pass various InfoSec certifications like Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and CompTia’s Security+. Our club is designed to help students with the knowledge, experience, and networking opportunities required to jump start a great career in Information Security.

Our mission is to promote interest in the emerging field of Data Science and to represent student needs and wants regarding events, computational resources, facilities, etc.
The organization provides a competitive, scientific, and technical environment that encourages students and researchers to leverage their data science skills, knowledge, and qualifications; as required by both industry and academic sectors.
Additionally, it helps students find suitable Data Science related careers by hosting relevant events that connect students with potential employers in the field. Last but not least, the Data Science organization has a goal to make the UNT Data Science program recognized nationally and worldwide.

The Deep Blue-tech Startup Club will help graduate students in AI and CS in general to meet and discuss how the technology we study are making it to market. We will discuss the current startups and learn from their failures and success. We hope that we will create an inspiring environment for like-minded students that may lead to bigger collaborations after the graduation. Deep Blue will aim to invite inspiring speakers from tech and venture capital world. Ideally, this club will help the student to form their technological ideas into a possible business plan or give a reasonable explanation why that is not a viable idea.

Engineers United is an organization whose goal is to facilitate communication and collaboration between engineers and Engineering organizations via our official UNT Discord server, annual hackathons, and other social events.

Our Discord server allows students to get involved in many organizations by providing centralized communication between members that is both accessible and organized. Any Engineering organization can request to be represented on the Discord server.

Every year Engineers United hosts a hackathon called HackUNT. This event is a 24-hour development marathon aimed at promoting innovation and collaboration. During the 48 hours, teams of 3-4 people come together to create software or hardware solutions to real world problems in attempt to win prizes.

To join our Discord server, visit https://discord.gg/j3D5Zdp, and check out HackUNT at https://unthackathon.com!

Eta Kappa Nu (HKN) is the international honor society for Electrical and Computer Engineers. Outstanding persons are elected to Eta Kappa Nu primarily from the junior and senior classes of accredited undergraduate programs. Graduate Students and distinguished professional engineers are also eligible. Eligibility, naturally, must depend on marked ability, as evidenced by scholarship, personal character, useful voluntary services, and distinguished accomplishments, all of which indicate that the candidate will be or is a success in his or her profession.

Eta Kappa Nu has a far broader purpose than merely to award a badge of distinction to scholars. As conceived by its founders and as carried forward by its membership during more than two generations, another aim is to assist its members throughout their lives in becoming better professionals as well as better citizens. In turn, it is still another purpose of the organization, that its members be a constructive force, helping fellow members and non-members alike to improve the standards of the profession, the courses of instruction, and the institutions generally where its chapters are established.

Some of the awards and activities include:

  1. Outstanding Electrical Engineering Senior
  2. Outstanding Young Electrical Engineer
  3. Outstanding Professor Award
  4. Outstanding Chapter Award
  5. National Student Leadership Conference
National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE)
Mission statement: “To increase the number of culturally responsible Black engineers who excel academically,
 succeed professionally, and positively impact the community.” 

 

  1. Expand your network
  2. Resume/ Cover letter workshops
  3. Guest panels and interactive meetings
  4. Fun events like NSBE’s annual co-hosting of engineering soccer tournament and NSBEhack
  5. Regional and national conferences
