TheEngineeringClub

Promoting engineering for engineers and their friends

THE ENGINEERING CLUB was founded over fifteen years ago to host talks about the broad culture of engineering in an informal setting. The talks are free to attend, with refreshments and a lively and informed discussion afterwards. All are welcome, but we especially encourage young engineers to attend. The Engineering Club is hosted by local engineering practices and organised by The Building Centre.
