Mission Statement

The Engineering Council of LSU is an organization that represents and serves every student in the College

of Engineering. We are affiliated with all of the governing bodies of the College of Engineering liaisons

between the students and college officials, corporations, and the community. Because there are over

1,900 students in the College of Engineering, we need your help to reach every one of them.

History

The Engineering Student Council of LSU has been around for approximately 20 years. It is tough to tell

exactly when the organization came into existence, but its presence can be seen sporadically throughout

the past 20 years or so. For example, few people know that it was this Council that originally came up with

the idea to implement a Student Technology Fee. It started as an idea to raise money to better the College

of Engineering's computers, labs, and other technology. When the idea was presented to the Dean of the

College of Engineering, it was warmly greeted. The Dean thought so much of it that he took it to the

Chancellor. Much politics, a little editing, and a few years later, the LSU Student Tech Fee was born.

Ideas such as these have been knocked around the Council since its birth. Implementation has always

depended on involvement and funding. No matter what the situation, Engineering Council will continue to

be the backbone of the Engineering student body and make itself known through its accomplishments and

events.
