Computing Society
The Computing Society is the official organization for students in Computer Science, Software Engineering, and related fields within the Computer Science and Engineering Department at BYU–Idaho. It prepares members for future careers, helps build their personal portfolios, fosters a social environment for networking, and encourages teamwork across a wide range of technical disciplines.
All societies and teams are part of the Computing Society and begin by meeting together on Wednesdays at 5:00 PM in STC 398 to socialize, enjoy tech presentations, and receive updates. After this shared session, students break out into their specific interest groups and meet in designated rooms for hands-on learning and collaboration.
