About Us

We’re the ECA and we represent all Engineering and Computer Science undergraduate students at Concordia University.

The letters E-C-A stand for the Engineering and Computer Science Association. In French, we’re as the Association Etudiante de Genie et Informatique de Concordia (AEGIC). We’re composed of 8 executives, 4 departmental representatives, and 12 societies, each with their own membership. This begs a question: just what exactly do all these people do?

The executives oversee all the major activities of the ECA. The department representatives stand up for your rights and ideas. The societies are the best place for any engineering student to get involved in extracurricular activities. Take a look at the societies and see which ones appeal most to you!

In short, ECA is your student organization. We’re supposed to work for you, and we lay it on the line to do just that.

But we need your help. A student organization is nothing without the students, so get out, get involved, get in touch with us, and have fun. You’re bound to find something interesting!
