University of Massachusetts Lowell, Epsilon Zeta Chapter
The University of Massachusetts Lowell’s Epsilon Zeta Chapter was founded in the 1960s. The chapter sat dormant for a period of time before being re-established during the Spring of 2019 and re-activated through the Spring of 2024. Our chapter’s reawakening was significantly aided by the cooperative spirit that has been built up in the ECE Makerspace—a community-led space conceptualized by Professor Dohn Bowden. This committed room provides a vibrant learning environment in which students of Electrical and Computer Engineering can study, put together hands-on projects, and engage with one another.
The Makerspace is a cornerstone of departmental community-building, promoting academic growth and camaraderie. As an active IEEE-HKN chapter, Epsilon Zeta seeks to continue these values by promoting ongoing innovation, service, and leadership. We strive to support academic and professional growth of members and give back to the university and the local community through outreach, mentoring, and service programs.
By engaging in such activities as technical workshops, career development programs, and community service programs, we aspire to have a legacy of excellence, diversity, and impact on generations of student leaders yet to come.
