Queen’s Students for Systems Change (QSSC)
Queen’s Students for Systems Change (QSSC) was formerly known as Queen’s Engineers Without Borders, but no longer has affiliation with the Engineers Without Borders organization.
Our goal is to help drive forward systemic change in areas contributing to global development, poverty alleviation, and social justice. We are made up of 9 portfolios: Environment, Food Systems, Equity Diversity & Inclusion, Mental Health & Wellness, Youth Ventures, Global Engineering, Reconcili-Action, Sustainable Clothing and Marketing. Our portfolios work on a number of projects throughout the year that have an impact locally and globally.

EngChoir
EngChoir is a fun and casual entirely student-run choir dedicated to bringing music to STEM students. It is open to all faculties at Queen’s and encourages everyone, regardless of musical or singing experience, to join. EngChoir has a lower commitment than most choirs on campus, allowing any music lover to engage in a choir, while keeping education and mental health a priority.
We rehearse weekly and perform a variety of pieces at various events every semester. Some previous pieces include: Bohemian Rhapsody, Africa (by Toto), Best Day of My Life, I’ll Tell My Ma, The Parting Glass, and more! The goal for each semester is to learn and perform pieces with a variety of styles that interest the choir. If you’re looking a fun experience and a group to enjoy music with, this is the club for you!
Queen’s Project on International Development (QPID)
Queen’s Project on International Development (QPID) is a student-run organization operating out of the Queen’s Engineering Society since 1990. We host a variety of initiatives on campus, in Kingston, in Canada and internationally, focused on raising development awareness, and getting people to think critically about development issues.
We hope to foster a development consciousness in the Queen’s community as a catalyst for local and global change.

The Queen’s Vertical Farming Team (QVFT)
The Queen’s Vertical Farming Team (QVFT) is Canada’s first undergraduate club of its kind. Vertical farming is an efficient, sustainable, high-tech cultivation method which is able to produce nutritious, healthy crops with 95% less water and 400x less land.
Our mission is to develop a functional, small-scale farm right here in Kingston. Drawing inspiration from the best current commercial practices, we plan to establish ourselves as innovators in this rapidly expanding industry.
QVFT is highly multidisciplinary, and provides program-specific opportunities for students involved in biochemistry, plant science, computer-aided design, computer modelling, data analysis, and systems design.

QU – Metallurgy and Materials Society Student Chapter (QU-MetSoc)
QU-MetSoc is the Queen’s University student chapter of the Metallurgy and Materials Society of CIM. This society was formed to inspire talent and foster interest in fields of metallurgy, material science, mining, and other related fields. That is, we aim to assist members and students in gaining useful and relevant knowledge, skills, and connections to industrial partners.
This is achieved by serving both as an introduction to the progress of metallurgy & material science in Canada, as well as being a direct link to the research, innovation, technologies, and other important aspects of the industry within Canada’s diverse culture and landscape.
Why are we unique?
- Initiatives such as the Canadian Institute of Mining (CIM) are supporters for Canadian Student Chapters such as ours. We get unique advantages/opportunities that connect students to industrial personnel (distinguished speakers from across the globe, external and internal mentorship program, collaborative workshops, fieldtrips).
We are always looking for new members across different engineering disciplines and who are willing to learn and grow professionally with us. If that person is you please contact us at [email protected]

Queen’s Recon
Queen’s ReCon is a student-led, Research and Consulting group, which connects passionate students with professional, practicing engineers across Ontario. Queen’s ReCon groups students into multi-disciplinary teams affording them real-world opportunities. This experience will aid them in their academic careers whilst building important relationships to support them in their future industry. More specifically, the club will provide a regulated forum for engineering firms to supply modest work to students, whilst adhering to Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO) Code of Ethics, leaving the final approval of the work to a supervising engineer. The club will enable students to gain insight and experience in the field of engineering and develop professionally by aiding the local firms through subcontracting. Lastly, the club will carry out hiring events, consulting workshops and resume building for general members interested in engineering and professional development.

NSBE (the National Society of Black Engineers) Queen’s Chapter
NSBE Queen’s was started in the summer of 2020 with the purpose of providing a community for Black-identifying Queen’s engineering students through our pillars of mentorship, professional development, and academic support. We also collaborate with other schools (500+ chapter globally) to extend our resources and community.
In addition to ongoing mentorship through pairings, the club runs at least one event each month, falling under one of our pillars, and this year we’ll be expanding to include a flagship in-person event. Follow us on Instagram @NSBE.Queens to stay up to date and sign up for our email list for professional development opportunities with our industry partners!
