🚀 Starting a New Software Engineering Organization at GMU — Looking for Founding Members

I’m currently building a new student organization focused on learning software engineering through real collaborative projects and modern engineering workflows.

The goal is to bridge the gap between classroom programming and how software is actually built in real engineering environments.

This is NOT just:
• a lecture club
• a LeetCode club
• random coding sessions

The vision is to create a collaborative engineering environment where students can:
• work on real projects together
• learn Git/GitHub workflows
• gain frontend/backend experience
• understand deployment & infrastructure
• practice teamwork and collaboration
• build portfolio-ready systems
• simulate real software engineering workflows in a beginner-friendly way

Some example project ideas:
• Study Group Finder
• Degree Planner / Dashboard
• Real-time applications
• Full-stack web systems

Currently looking for:
• Founding members
• Experienced Programmers (Juniors / Seniors) who might need experience
• People interested in backend/frontend/devops/design
• Beginners willing to learn
• Anyone interested in building and growing something long-term

Important:
You do NOT need to already be experienced. The organization is intended to be beginner-friendly and growth-oriented. The pilot semester will focus on simplified workflows and learning collaboratively step-by-step.

Right now I’m organizing:
• club structure
• semester workflow
• project planning
• onboarding documents
• engineering processes

Looking for co-founders/leads to help start a new Software Engineering club (Pilot Phase) [Repost][Discord Link Included]

Hey everyone,

I’m working on putting together a new student-led computer science/software development community at GMU and I’m looking for people who might be interested in helping build it from the ground up.

The idea is to create a more collaborative and hands-on environment where students can:

  • Learn technical concepts in a simpler, beginner-friendly way
  • Work together on projects and ideas
  • Gain practical experience outside of class
  • Explore how real software/products are developed in team settings

This semester would mainly be a smaller “test run” phase since I missed the official RSO registration deadline, so the focus right now is just:

  • Finding interested members
  • Building a small core team
  • Testing workshop/project ideas
  • Creating a good structure/community before officially registering later on

You do not need to be highly experienced. Beginners are completely welcome.

I’m especially looking for people interested in:

  • Programming/software development
  • UI/UX or design
  • Leadership/organization
  • Learning collaboratively with others
  • Building cool things

Potential benefits:

  • Hands-on project experience
  • Resume/project portfolio material
  • Team collaboration experience
  • Exposure to tools/workflows used in real development environments
  • Networking with other motivated students
  • Leadership opportunities as the group grows
