Engineering Society: Head of Engineering Projects

As an active member of UCLES, having learned directly from the current committee, I’ve gained first-hand insight into the range of opportunities the society offers. In particular, the numerous career-focused events and projects have been key to furthering my understanding of the number of different paths open to engineering graduates. Therefore, with my aspiration to further grow the society so that many more can benefit, bringing forth bigger and better initiatives will be of utmost importance.

As Head of Engineering Projects, I will strive to:

• Create more industry-led opportunities:

Utilising the leadership and networking skills gained as the CFO for a student-led start-up in sixth form, I plan to work closely with both the sponsorship and events teams to increase industry partnerships through several hackathons, career fairs and office visits, offering greater exposure for our members to a diverse range of companies.

• Bring forth fresh and exciting ideas:

Through leveraging existing connections, I intend to organise termly alumni-focused events including fireside chats and career panels, offering alumni the informal opportunity to impart key advice and discuss their career journeys since they were once in our shoes.

In short, UCLES has contributed massively to my university experience, and I would be honoured to lead the direction of the society’s projects and initiatives for the year ahead.

Together, let's continue growing our projects into real career pathways!

Real Projects for Real Engineers:

UCL Engineering Society is famous for its boat parties and balls and while they are amazing. It is time the Engineering Society actually did engineering or at least provide a platform that enables it.

As a founding member of UCL Ingenium, I have closely seen the launching of two successful engineering projects that are currently up and running. I have seen the logistics and the perseverance required firsthand. I can assure you that I will arrange a professional setting where members can have a real go at engineering, whether through EngSoc directly or via a close alliance with UCL Ingenium.

My Vision:

1. Accessibility for All: Projects shouldn't be exclusive. I will ensure they are accessible to everyone, regardless of year group, through a structured plan that caters to every primary field in the long run.
2. Interdisciplinary Innovation: I will champion projects that incorporate interdisciplinary elements, preparing you for the demands of the modern industry. A platform to from friendships outside lectures.
3. A Mentorship Ecosystem: A functioning division creates a cycle of success. Senior students will have the chance to mentor juniors, providing leadership experience that greatly boosts CVs and engagement.

My Commitment

This role will be far more than ceremonial. I have the capabilities and the roadmap to deliver. Let’s give our members something to build alongside the socials.
