About Us

Let’s be real, you did NOT pick engineering to do nothing but stare at powerpoint slides for three years. You did it to build things, break things, and actually get a job at the end of it.

So we help you do that. We are Salford’s premier community for aspiring engineers, regardless of your discipline. Proudly supported by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), we are built around helping YOU survive your degree, fast track your career, and actually have a life outside the library.

This is what you’ll get with us:

Insider access: don’t just read about the industry, meet the people running it. We will be hosting exclusive talks with industry leaders, successful Salford alumni, and Chartered Engineers who can show you the path to success, as well as IMechE-certified workshops (WHO ELSE HAS GOT THAT?!) on CVs, interviews, and assessments.

Trauma bonding: bond with fellow engineers over actually fun things, like board game nights, hiking trips, rock climbing sessions, and CRUSH other disciplines in various sports (ranging from football and badminton to motorsports).

Actually seeing the industry: we will be taking you beyond the university walls with organised trips to local engineering firms and manufacturing plants. It’s your chance to see the full product lifecycle up close, from raw materials to final assembly, and see how the theory actually applies in practice.

Hands-on creativity: whether it’s winning prizes in our CADathons, tearing down mechanical devices to see how they work, or testing your limits in our, CAN I SAY, VERY COOL design competitions (ROBOT FIGHTING OR SELF-DESIGNED BEYBLADE BATTLES!), we give you the space to build, break, and learn.

Don’t just survive your degree, dominate it with us. Come for the pizza, and stay for the career boost.
