About the Clubs
ACM Student Chapter
ACM stands for the Association for Computing Machinery. In this student chapter of the official computer society, we host various presentations from a variety of speakers, discuss current technology developments, and engage in hands-on projects. Our technology fields include ethical hacking, robotics/electronic DIY, Cryptography/Cryptocurrency/Encryption, gaming/retro-gaming devices, general skills like web design and programming, introduction to internships, and much more! Even though our focus is on giving Computer Science, Information Systems, and Information Technology majors real-world experience, we offer events for students of all majors to enjoy. Please look through the photos to see all of our past projects. All of our events are open to all majors and we encourage non-technology majors to participate due to the increasing technology dependence in the world. This is a club for all levels of knowledge and questions are encouraged.

National Society of Black Engineers
The National Society of Black Engineers is traditionally an organization that strives to increase the number of culturally responsible Black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the community. As we are in a full stride of digital culture, we envision a world in which engineering is a mainstream word in homes and communities of color, and all Black students can envision themselves as engineers. As a part of the Coastal Carolina community, we expand this vision and mission to include not only Blacks as under-represented individuals but all minorities and the community at large, who desire to be a part of the STEM industry.
