There are many more activities. Refer to websites of SAE collegiate clubs in US and other engineering colleges in India to get more ideas. Celebrations are integral part of student life. Hence there should be good amount of celebrations. Some of the suggested occasions are:

 Club Inauguration

 Annual conclusion

 Student Engineer Day

 Technology Day

 Please look for more occasions.

The following aspects should always be considered:  Fun  Learning  Alignment with the college curriculum  Intertwine celebrations and activities to get the best of fun, learning and alignment with curriculum. Involving other colleges and getting involved in other college activities are required. This fosters friendship and wider sharing of knowledge and experience. Intercollegiate events provide a good opportunity to do the above. However, conducting such events require long-term planning and large resources in terms of money and man-hours. Hence number of such events should be limited and should be done in accordance with the guidelines set by the SAEINDIA local section.

SAEINDIA local section has its own plans of intercollegiate events such as Student Convention and Design Contests.
