Within the College of Engineering, there are more than 30 student organizations. Five student organizations are housed within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

The student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE, the national professional society for civil engineers) brings professional speakers to campus to provide presentations resume reviews, etc.; organizes field trips, and fields teams for the ASCE concrete canoe competition and the ASCE/AISC steel bridge competition.

The Environmental Engineering Society (EES, sponsored by the Air and Waste Management Association) also organizes activities similar to the ASCE chapter, but more focused on the environmental engineering profession.

The MSU chapter of Chi Epsilon, the National Civil Engineering National Honor Society, organizes several service activities through the year.  Students are invited to join Chi Epsilon based on demonstrated scholarship, character, practicality, and sociability.
