Any Northwestern Student is welcome to join our team: no application or prior experience is required. Although most of our members are undergraduate engineers, we welcome students of all majors and talents.
As passionately expressed in our Mission Statement, NUSolar is dedicated first and foremost towards enhancing the educational experience of our student members by applying what we learn in classes into the context of a project with real consequences.

Commitment
We hold a weekly all-team meeting on Sundays from 1:00pm to about 4:00pm. All subteams also have weekly meetings where they convene to work on their specific projects. The timing and length of these meetings depends on the availability of the team members.
We ask that all members attend meetings as consistently as possible. As with any organization, you will get out what you put into it. The success of NUsolar depends on all of its members, and we’d love to have you become a part of the team!
