Departmental Groups

ShockSoc has continued to grow this year, organising a variety of enjoyable events. The first event was an Otley run bar crawl, followed by a bowling night. Small Pub socials after lectures were also spread across the first semester, giving people the opportunity to make new friends within the department. The first semester ended with a successful Christmas chill out party in the foyer, where Wii entertainment, music, food and drink were provided. The second semester set off with a bang with a very successful paintballing event, with more activities to follow including more social and physical activities. Besides these, there have been ongoing sports leagues including Football, Squash and Badminton, with a Tabletennis Tournament coming in the near future, each of which have medals to be won.

Along with the range of social and physical activities, ShockSoc have also designed a society hoody, which will be available to order shortly. It is also affiliated with the IET who provide free membership to first year students as well as a great platform for young engineers to start their careers. The ShockSoc committee are also organising sponsorship with Thales, a major electronic systems company working in a variety of sectors. This will help provide the students with career opportunities, and funds for the society to help organise discounted events.
