About SEC

The Sales Engineering Club was founded circa 2006 in lieu of the sales engineering minor that was in the process of being developed. A handful of students were very interested in the potential for a sales engineering curriculum, and founded the club as an outlet for this interest. Today the club is very active and has several companies coming to speak to the group each semester.

The Sales Engineering Club is the first collegiate sales club of its kind. ISU SEC is a club dedicated to the advancement of knowledge and skills pertaining to the technical and business aspects of engineering. We pride ourselves on three main goals:

  1. Personal Development
