Materials has several intramural sports teams. Past teams have included dodgeball, broomball, soccer, and volley ball. Come play or support our teams!

Blues pub

Twice a year, MEUS hosts a pub in the basement of the McConnell building, in the common room. Come enjoy a beverage and a grilled cheese, try your hand at our die games and socialize with fellow engineers. They won Blues Pub of the Year for the 2018-2019 year with Mamma Mia! Here We Blues Again! Lisa Stokke (she played Sophie in the original Mamma Mia! Musical) sent an endorsement video for our blues. They won again in the 2023-2024 year for Clues Blues- which included a live murder on the dancefloor. Finally, they won once again in 2024-2025 for Save a Horse Ride a CowBlues- a country themed extravaganza. They intend to continue the streak in this coming year.

Banquet

Banquet is held twice a year, in a fancy restaurant. It is a great opportunity to wine and dine with your fellow classmates (and sometimes profs) and to finish off a semester in high spirits! The winter semester banquet includes awards that are given out to materials engineering students and professors.

Apartment Crawls

Throughout the year MEUS hosts several apartment crawls. A great way to socialize with your classmates while enjoying your favourite carbonated wheat beverage.
