==Professional Events== | |||
====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! | |||
====Speed Networking===== | |||
Speed Networking is a terrific event for students to talk to company representatives in a more casual yet professional setting. Each table is hosted by an industry rep who talks to about 6-8 students for a certain amount of time. When the time is up, the students switch tables to then converse with the following professional at another table. It is the perfect event to learn about different career paths out there while practicing your communication skills. | |||
====Industry Tour==== | |||
MAME organizes various industry tours in Montreal throughout the year to expose students to different companies. Company representatives give a tour of their company and describe their daily activities as mechanical engineers at said company. | |||
====Industry Dinner==== | |||
MAME’s award winning Industry Dinner is a unique opportunity for students to engage with company representatives. Students are matched with industry professionals that they have showed an interest in with 6-7 other students. The three-course meal allows students and company representatives to interact in a comfortable social environment. Moreover, each company will have the opportunity to make a presentation about their organization during the night. The night concludes with a casual networking session that allows students to interact with companies they have not yet had the opportunity to meet. It a great event to network and learn about different companies interested in hiring future engineers! | |||
