We aim to offer students hands-on design experiences, industry-focused workshops, alumni interactions and project opportunities that strengthen both technical competencies and professional portfolios. TPED will broaden students’ exposure to engineering applications beyond traditional pathways and foster an innovative, interdisciplinary community that enhances the Watson student experience.

Upsilon Pi Epsilon is the international honor society for the computing sciences. Established in 1967 at Texas A&M University, it is the only computing sciences honors organization endorsed by both the Association for Computing Machinery and the IEEE Computer Society. With over 120 chapters worldwide, UPE strives to recognize outstanding talent and ability in the computing sciences, represent the computing sciences in interdisciplinary communications, and encourage individuals to contribute to society through the computing sciences.
The New York Iota chapter of UPE was founded at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ in 1991. An undergraduate computer science major is eligible for membership in UPE if he or she has completed at least 45 credits towards a BS in computer science or information systems, has completed at least four of the required computer science courses and has a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.4. An undergraduate transfer student must also have a grade point average of at least 3.4 from his or her previous institution and a minimum of 24 credits completed at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ.
The primary activity of Watson College's chapter of UPE is to provide free tutoring services to students enrolled in computer science courses. Members of UPE hold regular tutoring hours in the Watson Commons on weekday afternoons. In addition, UPE organizes events such as a game night in the MicroLab and a luncheon for computer science students who made the Dean's List.

The Watson Combat Robotics League (WCRL) is a competition in which teams design, 3D print and fight small robots (think Battlebots but on a smaller scale). Matches are held every other week throughout the semester, with a flagship tournament held near the end of each semester.
This project is designed for competitors of any skill level, as WCRL provides documentation and lab sessions to help you build your bot (if needed). Skills that members learn include engineering/design principles, CAD (Fusion 360), electronics and Arduino/Raspberry Pi.
