ACM

The FSU PC Student Chapter of ACM was started in 2011, and is composed mostly of students pursuing degrees in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Electrical Engineering. Club membership is free and is open to any student who is interested. Various software and/or hardware projects and tutorials will be the focus of the group, as well as networking among fellow students. Members attend the annual ACM/IEEE conference each year.

A description of ACM is as follows below (taken from http://www.acm.org/about/fact_sheet ):
