EngSoc Events

EngSoc organises presentations and guest lectures from leading companies in industry to keep our students well networked and connected with potential employers.

In the coming year session 2013/2014, we are to further embark on networking with other companies around Aberdeen and allow them to engage with members of the society.

Each year we host a very successful end of year ball which is held in the month of April in the first week after the Easter break. This year, the Hilton Treetops Hotel hosted the event for our 200 guests including employees from our major sponsors Amec and Petrofac. We would not be able to hold such grand events if it was not for the generosity of our major sponsors: Amec, ExxonMobil, Petrofac, and Subsea 7.

In the latter half of 2012, the EngSoc committee organised its annual St. Andrews Ceilidh for its members and friends at The Forum in Aberdeen. We treated over 100 attendees to a great night of fun and ceilidh dancing along to a live band.

'Engineering is not a science. Science studies particular events to find general laws. Engineering makes use of these laws to solve particular problems. In this it is more closely related to art or craft; as in art the problems are under-defined, there are many solutions, good, bad and indifferent. The art is, by a synthesis of ends and means, to arrive at a good solution. This is a creative activity involving imagination, intuition and deliberate choice.'
- Sir Ove Nyquist Arup CBE (1895-1988), Engineer and philosopher
