Mission It is the mission of the Engineering Student Council (ESC) at UC Irvine to be a liaison between undergraduate engineering students and the faculty, staff, and administration of The Henry Samueli School of Engineering. ESC serves as the umbrella organization for other Engineering Student Organizations to promote cooperation and build relationships among students. We create networking and research opportunities for students by coordinating events with other organizations, faculty members, and corporations across Southern California. As student leaders, we envision and advocate for the educational, social, and professional advancement of the engineering community.
