Multidisciplinary Engineering Student Society

MDESS―the Multidisciplinary Engineering Student Society―aims to provide a legitimate home base for students within the Multidisciplinary Engineering (MDE) and Interdisciplinary Engineering Studies (IDES) community. We are a society that values individual involvement and, ultimately, seeks to offer students professional development, mentorship, and social opportunities by hosting various events.

If you are enrolled in the MDE/IDES undergraduate programs, join us on BoilerLink to receive updates on our upcoming events. Prospective First-Year Engineering (FYE) students or students who wish to CODO to MDE/IDES also may join by request.
