About the SOUE
The Society of Oxford University Engineers was formed in 1988 to enable past members of the Department of Engineering Science to keep in touch both with engineering at Oxford, and with one another. Membership is open to all graduates of the Department (including those with postgraduate degrees) and academic staff; students may join as associate members, becoming life members on graduation.
The Society has one main meeting per year, generally in September, which combines the Annual General Meeting with the Jenkin Lecture, usually given by a member of the Society, and a meal (a formal dinner at one of the colleges, lunch after a morning lecture, or both).
Members are also invited to the Open Day which the Department holds every May or June on the occasion of the Maurice Lubbock Memorial Lecture, the Department's annual public lecture.
For those members who wish to keep abreast of the state of the art in Oxford engineering, or follow the progress of other Oxford engineers, the AGM is usually accompanied by seminars given by members of the Department or members of the Society; there are further opportunities for members to find out what's going on these days at the Open Day.
Students may pay £10 for life membership of the Society, joining as associate members; graduates who are not already members may join on payment of £20 for life membership.
