====Meet & Greet====
====Lora Thursdays====
At the start of every academic year, MAME hosts a meet & greet for all mechies to meet the new [[#Executive Committee|council]]! This is a great opportunity for students to speak to those representing them and also to find out how to get involved. The meet & greet is also where the different [[#committees|committees]] do their initial round of recruiting!
Named for MAME's celebrated Winter '23 Equity & Mental Health Rep, Lora Izambard, Lora Thursdays represent the chance for students to come to special office hours, help themselves to a cup of tea or pot of coffee, and have a chat about anything that's on their mind.
 
====Tea Time / Study Hours====
Tea Times are an opportunity to come enjoy some of the finest tea in the whole of McConnell while conversing with your fellow Mechanical Engineers. It’s a great opportunity to kick-back for a second, meet friends outside of the library and take advantage of the beautiful MAME office. For the 2019-2020 academic year, they are taking place on Thursdays from 2:30-4:00 in MAME. This activity was postponed indefinitely due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
====MAME Banquets====
====MAME Banquets====
Held at the end of the each semester, MAME’s banquets are an event not to miss! Student have the chance to join their fellow mechies at a fancy restaurant and celebrate the end of the semester and the end of our sleep before exams start! There’s a holiday banquet (in Fall) and an end of the year banquet (Winter). They are usually fancy event, where teachers are also invited to attend (mostly in winter).

====MAME Clothing Sale====
====MAME Merch Sale====
Alright, this may not be a social event but it may as well be! What’s more social than showing off our McGill Mechanical Engineering Pride? Students can do so by purchasing McGill Mechanical Engineering adorned hoodies, crewnecks, sweatpants, tanks, hats, scarves, patches and much more at our MECH Swag Sale every semester! Furthermore, MAME has migrated fully online. Everything can be bought online at [https://mechanicalengineering.secure-decoration.com/]. Free shipping and 15% off coupons are also common!

====MAME 3-Man====
Nobody really knows how 3-Man works. Nobody really knows what it is. But everyone knows what it means. Chaos. Excess. Revelry. I can honestly say that there is nothing in my life I've experienced that's quite like a MAME 3-Man. It's a rite of passage for Mechies. Never attend it with 3 Men.
MAME 3-Man is traditionally chaotic and has a penchant for disaster. The debauchery of recent 3-Man events cannot be transcribed here but records of proceedings can be found in MAME lounge.

Do you know what's going on here? Neither do we! MAME Fall 3-Man, 2023

====Software Tutorials====
====Becoming a Genius Tutorials====
MAME hosts several FREE software tutorials such as VBA, MATLAB and LaTex to provide learning skills to our students outside of the classroom. Some of the coursepacks for these tutorials are available [https://mame.mcgilleus.ca/Resources.html on our website]. These tutorials should resume in the 2022-2023 academic year.
Not quite, but keep a sharp eye out for MAME x Someone sponsored workshops and tutorials on machining, software (MATLAB, python, CAD/CAM), arduino, electronics, and much more.  
   
   
====Lab Tours====
====Lab Tours====
With the help of professors and graduate students, MAME hosts lab tours in order to expose students to the different research projects being worked on in our department.

====Integral Bee====
Ever noticed that Mechanical Engineers are kind of nerds? For whatever reason, whatever the background, everyone in mech eng has that little part of them that thinks it would be fun to force people to compete against each other to solve math problems in a gladiatorial setting while everyone else screams and applauds like we're roman peasants. MAME's annual integral bee is an iconic competition.
   
   
====MECH Talks====
MECH talks is a week-long event with each day constituting of our esteemed professors and some professionals sharing their journey in the field of mechanical engineering. MECH Talks is a great way to get insights on the different opportunities a degree in mechanical engineering can lead you to and hear directly from the people who made it! This event should resume in the 2022-2023 academic year.

====MECH Madness====
====MECH Madness====
MAME’s year kick off to an amazing start thanks to our favourite event: '''''[[Mech Madness]]'''''. MECH Madness takes place at a different city in Canada every year and is an annual multi-day industry tour. It consists of two days of industry tours at various companies with the evenings spent sightseeing and interacting with the city’s local engineering students. This event gives students the opportunity to discover the career opportunities a degree in mech eng can offer all across Canada while getting know to know their peers at McGill and other universities as well!
