Working for the benefit of electrical engineering students since 1968
Sähkökilta ry, or more informally Skilta, is a registered association working for the benefit of its members according to its official rules. Sähkökilta is mainly aimed for electrical engineering students at Tampere university but students from other fields of study are also welcome to participate in all activities of the guild.

The guild room of Sähkökilta is located at the Hervanta campus of Tampere university. The guild is in Sähkötalo, in front of the FabLab workshop and Juniversity.
