Partner with us
Bring us a real problem.
This page is for companies, utilities, startups, national labs, ASU faculty and alumni who want to work with the chapter. One email reaches the officers directly — there is no form to fill in and nobody to get past.
01/Ways in
What working with us looks like
None of this is a package or a tier. Pick whatever fits what you can actually give — an afternoon is worth as much to us as a cheque.
Speak
An hour in a room with students who chose to be there. Talks land best when they are about the actual work — what the problem was, what you tried, what it cost.
Run a training session
Hands-on beats slides. Past sessions have covered energy efficiency auditing and microgrid design, with equipment on the table.
Host a visit
A plant, a control room, a lab, a site. Students see more in ninety minutes on site than in a semester of coursework.
Set a challenge
Give our hackathon a real problem from your work. You get a weekend of prototypes against it; the students get a brief that is not hypothetical.
Judge or mentor
Two days in April, or a single evening. Mentoring is the part students consistently rate highest.
Support an event
Prizes, food, materials, travel for a site visit. Small amounts go a long way at student-organization scale.
Recruit
Internships, co-ops, graduate roles, thesis projects. We pass an opening to the members it fits rather than blanket-posting it.
Something else
The chapter is young and most of what it does started as somebody's suggestion. If you have one, send it.
02/Who you would be reaching
A young chapter that runs things
Members are undergraduate, master’s and PhD students, mostly from the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering but also from sustainability, business, computing and policy. Sessions run on the Tempe campus, and we have taken groups out to the Polytechnic campus for lab work.
In our first spring we ran a speaker session roughly every fortnight and closed the year with a two-day energy hackathon across four tracks, held with the IEEE and ASME student branches. Several sessions were co-hosted with other chapters, which is usually the right way to reach more students.
We are a registered student organization — not a consultancy, and not an arm of the university. Everything is run by students around their coursework.
What we will not do
- Put your name or logo on this site, or call you a sponsor or partner anywhere public, without asking you first.
- Pass member contact details to anyone. If you have a role to fill, we will take it to the members it suits.
- Promise numbers we cannot stand behind. Ask what turnout has been for a format and we will tell you honestly.
03/Other routes
If email is not your thing
AEE at ASU is on LinkedIn, and everything we run is posted to Instagram — both reach the same officers. Students looking to join should start on the Join page instead.
