Eta Kappa Nu (HKN), the international honor society for electrical and computer engineers, is home to some of the best and brightest students in the field. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Beta Nu chapter of Eta Kappa Nu is among over 200 other chapters across the United States, Europe, and Asia.
The RPI Student Branch of the IEEE is an organization dedicated to connecting students, researchers, and industry professionals in order to support the engineering community.
RPI Robotics Club is a student run interdisciplinary organization composed of several student-lead projects encompassing a wide range of objectives and skill levels. The club aims to teach its members about robotics though hands-on projects, compete in nationally recognized competitions, and develop both technical and collaborative skill sets.
RPai is a community of engineers curious about AI and its applications, hosting student-led lectures that break down core AI concepts and guest talks from industry leaders pushing the boundaries of the field. We’re building a startup incubator to help students grow ideas into impactful products and companies, and we actively conduct cutting-edge research across Robotics, Healthcare, Finance, Music, and more - including our newly launched COGS research course focused on AI alignment. RPai also represents RPI in hackathons hosted by some of the world’s leading AI companies, giving students the opportunity to innovate at the forefront of the industry.
Embedded Hardware Club
The Embedded Hardware Club brings students together to learn and innovate in embedded systems. Operating out of JEC 3118, we offer a collaborative workspace, components, funding, and mentorship to support both personal and club‑sponsored projects.
