Multidisciplinary Engineering Student Society

In the Multidisciplinary Engineering Student Society (MDESS) community, we strive to give the growing MDE/IDES student population a place to call home. We aim to provide professional networking opportunities, service opportunities, and social outreach events for our members.

The purpose of this student society is to provide a legitimate home base for students within the MDE/IDES community. We are a society that values individual involvement, and ultimately, we want to provide students an opportunity to be a part of the activities and events put on by the various committees within the society.

Anyone currently enrolled in the MDE/IDES undergraduate programs may join the organization following a submission form and payment of any dues set by the officer board. First-Year Enginering students who are undecided or already declared for MDE/IDES may also join the society.

Historical Reference

MDESS rebooted in the 2017-18 AY from a very long hiatus. When a "new" homeroom entered the picture for MDE and IDES students, a common meeting area created the perfect opportunity for students in the program to meet and socialize. Some of the previous officers included:
