Can I make friends in engineering even if I do not join a club?
Yes. You can make friends in engineering without joining a club. Classes, laboratory or practical sessions, group assignments, laboratories, orientations, and study groups can provide opportunities to meet classmates. Saying hello or talking about coursework may help you build connections, although how easy this feels differs from student to student.
