Closing Note
Greetings fellow students and staff of Mechanical Engineering!
A big thank you for your active participation and support for CMCE Day! We are very proud of the first tri-engine collaboration to bring to you an unprecedented scale of freebies, games and fun. Committees from Chemical Engineering Student Society (CHESS), Civil Engineering Student Club (CESC) and Society of Mechanical Engineering (SME) worked tirelessly for weeks to bring you a culmination of 1300 welfare packs, food booths and carnival games stations. We would like to express our upmost gratitude to our individual departments, sponsors and you for your support for SME’s penultimate event of AY 2017/18.
As the academic year and our term near its end, it would perhaps be a good time for me to wrap up SME’s initiatives for the past 8 months.
The academic year started with SME’s General Elections, where the EXCO members were nominated and voted to be the representatives of the respective committees. 12 outstanding members of our EXCO team were chosen, with the introduction of our first ever OCIP Project Director, Muhammad Haziq Bin Mohd Raziff, a year 2 Mechanical Engineering Student with multiple OCIP leadership experience with external organisations. Haziq will be helming ME’s first OCIP initiative to Cambodia in May 2018.
The newly elected committee extended their vision for what our predecessors have done for the student community with SME’s new logo design and website. Kudos to Shankar, our publicity head for SME’s updated outlook! Shankar’s creative expressions through SME has been consistently re-defining the conventional pre-conceived notion of the boring engineer. His sustained efforts in producing eye-catching posters and media platform management never ceases to amaze. Shankar and his team also went on to start the Humans Of Mechanical Engineering (H.O.M.E.) series on our Instagram platform, introducing the many qualities of our exceptional students in ME.
SME continued and extended the tradition of Senior’s Sharing for SEP experience this year, boasting 6 year 4 seniors who had experiences in various different continents in the world for SEP to share what they went through during their SEP tenure. A big thank you to Meaghan, Jie Wei, Ziheng, Jason, Jinlong and Yun Min for taking time off your busy schedules!
The 23rd executive committee saw the need for a dedicated committee to increase the vibrancy of ME student life with festive events and with that, the new Events committee was founded, helmed by Yoong Leryee the ever full of life year 1 ME student. Leryee, along with her very capable team of y1 ME students organised SME’s first festive celebrations – Halloween, Chinese New Year and ME Back to school.
Our Enhancement Projects arm, led by Tan Shing Liang, continued the accreditation program for Solidworks Professional and Associate level. The accreditation program has been very well received amongst the student cohort and industry alike, adding on to the already qualified portfolio that NUS ME students have. Our EP arm also responded to the calls for industrial visits in semester 2, bringing students to a multitude of top engineering firms, from Keppel Offshore to Vector Aerospace sites. The visits brought our undergrads closer to the industry, allowing them to network and gain a better understanding of what the workplace would entail in the future.
Having received the very valuable feedback from the cohort on their Welfare Pack expectations from semester one, our Welfare committee, led by Liu Quyang, a y2 ME student, stepped up in semester 2. We explored avenues that weren’t considered to actualize CMCE day. The intensive behind-the-scenes planning work and execution was indeed not for the faint hearted.
ME Camp 2018 Project Director Nur Zaheerah kickstarted her campaign with OGL and OGH recruitment in semester 2 and has also been constantly working on the upcoming ME Freshmen Orientation Camp in June. Keep a lookout for the exciting and highly anticipated ME FOC!
Our business arm also pushed out SME merchandises and sticker sales to the students, in hope of strengthening the ME identity across engineering. With Shreya at the forefront of the business arm, SME was able to secure the sufficient funds that was necessary to fund our events for the academic year.
And that wraps up the many projects that the 23rd SME has conducted and initiated over the past 8 months. I would also like to extend my personal gratitude to the meticulous work of our General Secretary Chiam Kah Wei who worked selflessly to sort out the administrative and deconflicting procedures; our Financial Director Clarence Lee for enduring the constant pressure to keep our funds in green and the three very capable Vice Presidents, Richie Ling, Eyu Jiayi and Choong Kai Xin, whom were the vital pillars that made everything possible.
On behalf of SME, I would also like to extend our gratitude to our Staff Advisor, Prof. Lee Kim Seng for his guidance and advises. I would also like to thank ME Department and the Faculty for their unwavering support for student activities.
Finally, SME would like to express our sincerest gratitude to the student cohort for your enduring support for our initiatives. SME is, at the end of the day, a society by the students for the students. The 23rd SME Committee thank you for your continuous support and we wish you all the best for your preparations for the upcoming exams!
Sincerely,
Lee Zhan Pheng

P.S: For year 4 students, look forward to SME’s GradFest happening after your commencement!

President's Message
Hello everyone. I am Zhan Pheng, a Year 2 Mechanical Engineering student and I have been given the privilege to take over the role of President for Society of Mechanical Engineer (SME). SME is an integral representative of the student body, reflecting the value, character and finesse of Mechanical Engineers of tomorrow. Under my term of presidency, I hope to develop SME to be a recognizable and known student society which bridges the gap between students, academic staff and the industry.
The ME culture within the student body of NUS is a deeply captivating one that embraces learning in a healthy and competitive environment. Where competition is used as the driving force for achievement and growth, it is still kept in check with integrity and fairness. This simple yet unique culture of ME is no doubt why ME students hold pride in their course.
This is perhaps one of the many reasons why I took up the role as President of SME, to be at the forefront of the representative club put in place to promulgate, accentuate and better what has already been and will be. The benefits of ME students would be placed as the core guiding principle of SME, to build the platform to help them in their process to turn ambitions into reality.
I truly look forward to working with my committee for the academic year 2017/18 and I am certain that they will be as driven as I am to improve what has already been well established in the past years.
Here's to a great year ahead with the incoming and existing students of Mechanical Engineering!
