About Us

Welcome

The ACM/AITP officers would like to introduce you to our organization. As an active part of the Computer Science Department here at NC State, ACM/AITP provides opportunities throughout the year for students to get involved in their department and learn about the exciting job opportunities awaiting them in this growing field. Take a look around the site and see who we are, what we're all about, and when our next meeting is.

What is ACM/AITP?

The ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) is the world's oldest and largest scientific and educational computing society. Since 1947 it has served members now numbering over 80,000 worldwide. The AITP (Association of Information Technology Professionals) is a professional association comprised of career minded individuals who seek to expand their potential. At North Carolina State University, the student chapters of these two organizations are combined (with two sets of officers) and serve students as a joint body, the NCSU Student ACM/AITP.

We provide many opportunities for students. Every year we host a number of companies, including many of the leading names in the industy such as Microsoft, Intel, IBM, and others, providing both valuable information about job opportunities and information about the latest developments in computing technology. Also sponsored are talks by professors and others in the NCSU community allowing us to see what's going on in our own backyard. Topics in the past have included network security, 3D graphics, and artificial intelligence. Every spring we have a food and a fun filled end-of-year Pig Pickin' for the Computer Science Department, and we usually sponsor various other activities throughout the year.
