Materiaali-insinöörikilta

The Guild organises a variety of events for its members and others throughout the year. Excursions, sauna evenings, sport shifts, study-themed events and other activities provide a nice balance to your studies, and offer the opportunity to network and learn new things. 

There are a handful of traditional annual events organised by the Materials Engineering Guild. The most famous of these are the Bling party in autumn and the Chili Party in April. In addition, there is usually a freshman sauna, a Teekkari dipping sauna on first of May and other freshman events, as well as Christmas parties, sauna events and various parties such as the Rubber sitsis, which is organised during April with the Skilta and TamArk. In the summer, MIK members gather for a summer meeting in August.

Career and studies

There are also a variety of career events, learning and development events and other varied work-related events each year. In recent years, actual career events have been organised with the Plastics Association and SSAB, among others. The most traditional study event is the “Opening Up of the Studies -Coffee time”, where you can discuss your courses with representatives of the Materials Science Laboratory over coffee and other refreshments. 

Sport events

Traditionally, major sport events organised by the guild include the legendary Night floorball tournament in the spring and the TVIK volleyball tournament in the autumn. In addition to this, weekly sport shifts are offered to the members, as well as monthly sport trials. There are weekly floorball sessions in Bommari and other ball sports. In monthly sports trials a wide range of sports have been tested from megazone to archery and from cooper’s test to football. The guild also supports the participation of its representative team in sports events organised by other guilds. In addition, there is usually a kyykkä event in the winter.

Excursions

Excursions are study trips to visit companies and student cities. Traditionally, the guild organises 1-2 ” rough excursions ” of a few days’ duration each year, as well as a special excursion for freshmen. The excursions are usually great trips that combine fun, networking and interesting company visits. In recent years, we have visited a wide variety of companies, from huge steel foundries and paper mills to smaller workshops with a few employees. We’ve had the chance to learn about both traditional and newer manufacturing techniques, such as rolling and 3D printing, and visited a plastics recycling plant. The excursions give you a good idea of where you can find employment in the sector and what materials engineering in general involves.
