Wind turbine volunteering opportunity
A local school in Birmingham (which is a charity) recently contacted Warwick to ask for voluntary assistance in rebuilding a wind turbine.
The school has a wind turbine that is not working, and the company that made it has now gone bust, so there's no chance of them fixing it. As a result, the school has asked for any Warwick students for assistance in fixing the wind turbine. Since the school is a charity, they don't have much money so any voluntary help they can get would be greatly appreciated.
If you'd be interested in helping out, please email Yung-Yu Lau with your year, pathway/stream and perhaps a small reason for why you're interested, with 'LSProject WindTurbine' in the subject line. If enough people show interest, we can try and organise something :)
Engineering Challenge
Show off your talents
Looking for a different way to get your skills in front of the UK's finest engineering and construction companies? Last year the team that went won the competition and £250 cash. Show your teamwork and ingenuity, get some industrial links, add it to your CV, potentially win some money. This event only comes along once a year and is great fun, so don't miss it.
When: 23 and 24 November (Friday and Saturday Week 8)
Where: NEC Birmingham
How: Email hopecansdale@gmail.com
Meal at Cosmo with Engineering Society!
This week we're going to eat our weight in pan-asian cuisine at Cosmo in Coventry! The all you can eat buffet promises to be an entertaining and relaxed social.
We'll be meeting at Cosmo at 7.45pm. The buffet costs £12.99 so please bring this with you.
A member of the exec will be at the bus stop to meet freshers and point them in the right direction. There is carpooling on a first come first served basis.
Please click attending on the Facebook event if you're definitely coming, as we need to book the table! See you there!
Welcome Back!
A very warm welcome from all of us here at Warwick Engineers, both to those freshers just joining the department and returning students. We've got loads planned for this year, so now is the perfect time to join us!
