Since 1965, we’ve built bridges between Wildcats and the Mining Community through Education and Outreach
Goals of Our Chapter
Fundraise For the 2024 SME Annual Expo & Conference.
This year’s conference will be held in Phoenix, Arizona. Since the UArizona’s proximity to the conference is a short distance, we are aiming to have as many students as possible attend the conference at the lowest cost possible.
Targeted Outreach.
The SME Student Chapter and the MGE Department are looking for aspiring young engineers, geologists, hydrologists and metallurgists to join the Chapter and make a positive impact in their future careers.
More Professional Development.
Securing an internship should be on the minds of students whenever its time for applying. The Chapter will provide professional assistance for members including: resume resources, mock interviews, and networking.
Fundraise For SME Competitions.
The SME/NSSGA Mine Design Teams will need all the help they can get to get a team of 12 to the finals in Phoenix, Arizona. Also, the Intercollegiate Mining Games Team will need help in funding its travel to this year’s competition in Butte, Montana.
Build a Community.
Our Chapter connects like-minded individuals through engaging activities, events, and discussions, fostering lasting friendships and support networks. It's a space for personal growth, collaboration, and a sense of belonging, enriching the college experience.
A Quote From Our Past SME President.
“Our chapter provides a fun and comfortable environment for our members to grow professionally through numerous educational and social environments.”

UArizona SME Student Chapter Bylaws
Bylaws outline an organization’s internal operating rules. This important document defines the size of the board and how it functions, roles and duties of members and officers, rules and procedures for holding meetings, nomination and election procedures and other essential governance matters. The Executive Board reviews the bylaws periodically and amends them as SME evolves. Any proposed changes must go through SME National, SME Tucson Section and the UA Engineering Student Council (ESC). The parent and local organizations after careful review, then makes its recommendations to the UA SME Student Chapter for a vote of approval.
