What we do

The Mechanical Engineering Society is a leading organisation within the UCL Mechanical Engineering department, working closely with academics, staff, alumni, and current students. It consists of 4 Executive Divisions: Marketing, Finance, Sponsorship, and Events.

We aim to reach our main objectives by offering a balance between the following: 

  • Career Events
  • Engineering Projects
  • Social Events
Social Events

MES' social events aim to strengthen the sense of community within the student body. It gives members a chance to take a break, meet students from different years and spend an enjoyable time with classmates.

Last year's events

  • F1 screening
  • Go karting
  • Various sports tournaments
  • Game nights
  • Student staff dinners
  • End of year celebration
  • Bounce
Career Events

Our society provides students with an insight into the professional working environment.

The MES orchestrates a diverse array of career-oriented and networking events. This has given students the opportunity to discover a range of potential careers and allowed sponsors to attract students for their early career programs.

Panelist Events

These are panel and networking sessions where we invite speakers from many different companies (Rolls Royce, BlackRock, Williams Racing, and more) to present their companies. The students that take part  have the opportunity to network with the speakers during dinner.

Industry Talks

Annually, we hold numerous industry talks, which consist of graduate mechanical engineers presenting the industry they work in and introducing their company, followed by a Q&A and networking session.

Engineering Fair

One of the largest events each year is the engineering fair. We provide companies the opportunity to come to UCL and present their relevant internship programs, industrial placements, graduate schemes, types of work, etc. This event attracts more than 200 students every year.

Engineering Projects

We collaborate with sponsors like Autodesk and Dyson to host annual engineering events and competitions. These inspire students to collaborate, design, and manufacture  solutions for different challenges.

Autodesk Mechathon

In the past two years, our society has hosted a ‘Mechathon’ competition sponsored by Autodesk where 80+ students from the Mechanical Engineering Department participate. 

In 2022, students designed and built, in two days, a syringe-operated hydraulic arm to move a load.

 

In 2021, students designed and built, in three days, an autonomous vehicle to transport a load across a track.

Dyson Workshop

In this workshop, students heard from James Dyson Engineers. In teams of six, they then engaged in hands-on build workshops to design sustainable solutions using Dyson products.
