Built for
Continuity.

ECHO is the official student technical council responsible for:

  • Department websites and web platforms
  • Hosting and deployment infrastructure
  • Internal digital systems
  • Long-term platform maintenance

Every project under ECHO is built for real users, real operations, and long-term continuity.

Student Driven

Managed entirely by students for the department.

Production Ready

Systems that handle real traffic and data.

Future Proof

Techstacks chosen for scalability and longevity.

Why ECHO Exists

"Departments run on digital systems. Those systems must be reliable, scalable, and continuously maintained.ECHO ensures the digital ecosystem of ECE is student-driven, professionally built, and future-ready."

Not just a Club.
A Council.

Members of ECHO do not attend sessions to "learn". They learn by shipping code.

Selection Philosophy

We are not selecting based only on experience.

We are selecting builders, problem solvers, and long-term contributors.

Consistent and committed
Takes ownership of tasks
Wants to build real systems

Ideally, you are:

  • A student who wants to build production-grade software.
  • Someone who can take vague requirements and deliver a working feature.
  • Willing to maintain code long after it is written.

No prior experience is mandatory.Ownership, learning ability, and commitment matter most.
