Civil Engineer Society

Hello all aspiring or continuing Civil Engineering Undergraduate Students!

This society represents all students in Civil Engineering at Dalhousie University. Along with planning events such as professor networking events and Galas, we provide the opportunity to purchase custom merchandise. Our main goal this year is to relay any feedback/concerns from our student peers to our professors and Civil Engineering Department through an anonymous platform. On top of that, we want to be able to plan events that bring our student body together, to have a little fun and get to know each other!

Mechanical Engineering Society (MES)

The Mechanical Engineering Society provides support to students within the Mechanical Engineering Department with the main purpose of bolstering the student experience. The society is a great way for student leaders to form a team and provide events to the student body. The society also champions and supports any academic concerns within the mechanical engineering discipline.

Dalhousie Engineering Global Brigades Chapter

Dalhousie Engineering Global Brigades Chapter

We are Dalhousie's chapter for Global Engineering Brigades! Our society is partnered with Global Brigades (GB) which is an organization whose mission is to create sustainable health systems for communities in need (for us, communities in Honduras).

Dalhousie Chemical Engineering Society

Dalhousie Chemical Engineering Society

The Dalhousie Chemical Engineering Society provides advice, plans events and creates a space for chemical engineering students to connect and bond over their mutual course content. Events are held through the term to provide a fun out of classroom environment for students to bond. Events are also held with professors to ensure students are able to maintain a positive connection with faculty and be able to have fun outside of the classroom!

We advocate for academic matters, organize social events, and ensure that students are well-informed about the happenings of their program.

Dalhousie Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Team (DAT)

Autonomous underwater vehicles present a unique challenge which requires careful planning and extensive testing to successfully and reliably complete tasks underwater without human interference. This objective presents designers and engineers with a unique framework to operate in, and to design systems which are used to accomplish a common goal. Competitions are held which allow University students, and other non-professional AUV designers, to participate in a competitive environment which encourages planning, innovation, and success. The mission of the Dalhousie Autonomous Underwater Vehicle team is to research, design, build, test, and compete at various events while allowing students to learn in a technical and collaborative environment.

Dalhousie Biomedical Engineering Society (DBES)

Dalhousie Biomedical Engineering Society (DBES)

We aim to foster a sense of community for students in the Biomedical Engineering program.
Our society mainly organizes social events for our students and facilitates communication between between students and the faculty. This is all in an effort to foster a sense of community in our program. This is important because our students come from very diverse scientific backgrounds and work on a diverse set of research problems. But, we are also physically separated in buildings across the 3 Halifax campuses.
