WELCOME TO THE DMU ENGINEERING SOCIETY
WHO ARE WE?
As a society, we aim to provide an inclusive environment that allows all students of the university, who are interested in engineering, to expand their network. Like-minded people will be able to more easily share ideas, learn from each other, and collaborate on projects— developing a community that creates numerous opportunities. Our society helps broaden a student's social and academic development, and with this, members can get help and advice from their peers. In our society, we would discuss topics and create projects that would be in the best interests of everyone involved. Members are also introduced to DMU Racing and IMechE Leictershire Young Members Panel; those interested would be encouraged to join these groups, as well.
AFFILIATION
UKSEDS is a unique organisation run entirely by students and young professional volunteers, and part of an international SEDS movement that includes sister organisations in the USA, Canada, India, and many other countries. The society is affiliated with UKSEDS (UK Students for the Development and Exploration of Space). UKSEDS is the United Kingdom’s national student space society that, for over 30 years, have been supporting students and young professionals across the country by running events, providing resources, and teaching them new skills. Their most famous event is the National Student Space Conference (NSSC), which they first held in 1989. This year they had people from space agencies such as NASA and JAXA give talks at their conference, which was sponsored by renowned companies like Airbus and Skyrora. They also hold competitions that run in collaboration with leading companies and give students valuable technical and transferable skills.
