About Us
Founded in 1980, the Society of Engineering Sciences is comprised of students with interests in Bioengineering, Computational Engineering Science, Geoscience, Engineering Math and Statistics, Engineering Physics, and Environmental Engineering. The primary purpose of this society is to give representation to and advance the interest of the Engineering Sciences. All majors are welcome.
SES provides the opportunity for interaction with students with common interests. The society 's activities range from peer counseling to tie-dyeing session to seminars. Also popular are trips to companies and campus labs.
While SES represents a huge diversity of fields, it also serves to unite a group of largely interdisciplinary majors, which face unique goals and issues. Overall SES is an extremely flexible and personal organization whose main goal is to continually adapt and serve the wide variety of member interests.
