Welcome to the CSEE Society!
The Definitive Place for all Essex CSEE Students
New Society of the Year 2022 Winner!
Aims:
The Computer Science and Electronic Engineering Society (CSEE Society) is the number one space for all CSEE students (both old and new). We provide a central hub for CSEE students to talk and socialise, from discussing current technology to providing help and feedback on CSEE related topics. The society was initially formed as a result of lockdown to fulfil students interaction needs and has since grown into a place where people can socialise and grow as people. We primarily offer social events but we have begun exploring ways to improve employability of our members. This year we have organised a rover team for entry into UKSEDs Olympus Rover Trials Advanced Stream and we are hosting member talks on topics proposed by our members. Our first talk this year, "A talk on the basics of Git, covering the whys and how's of source control" was incredibly successful and we plan to host many more like it. We are the definitive place for all CSEE Students to communicate, featuring over 1100 members in the discord and over 100 registered society members.
As well as this, we have systems in place to encourage peer-to-peer sharing and teaching. We've seen that learning from peers has been highly beneficial to student's grades and overall understanding of CSEE. If you are interested in learning more about CSEE, or think you have the capacity and drive to teach others - this is the place for you!
Events:
Throughout the first two terms, we aim to host regular socials every few weeks to encourage CSEE students to make friends and get away from their screens. Additionally, we aim to host semi-regular member talks this year alongside game nights and project showcases. Through our new systems, we can provide a space for final year students to demonstrate their projects and receive feedback from our members. You can check our events page here, or the tab on Discord for more up-to-date information on these. In December, we host an annual Christmas party to celebrate the holidays and bring our members together. At this party, we play games, eat snacks and socialise - allowing our members to take a break from their work.
Additionally, this year we plan to host a 48 hour Hackathon, where multiple teams can compete to produce the best product on our chosen theme. We also plan to host small revisions sessions and talks each term to help our members achieve higher grades.
Our events are primarily for society members and members get early/exclusive access to events, so be sure to get your FREE membership to gain access to these. Once you have your FREE membership, hop on the discord and let us know!
