Student Government has recognized the first Engineering Club ever to be launched in AUBG with a total funding of approximately 1,400 USD.
A new Engineering/ Robotics club was officially recognized and funded by the Student Government on Wednesday, February 15th. The Engineering Club would be a mix of amateur mechanical engineering along with physical experiments and computer programming allowing a variety of students to join and gain skills and experience in the field of robotics. The club’s objectives are highly emphasized - to assemble robots out of the available parts of the VEX classroom Lab Kit (1,011 USD), to conduct physics experiments on occasional basis and to learn how to use software programming (easy cv4 for cortex, 94 USD).

“My main intention is to provoke the thought of technical thinking within the liberal arts university,” says Spartak Grigoryev, founder and president.
The club, as for now, consists of three key members and founders; Grigoryev , Maxud Aghaev and Mikita Piachenin. Each of them, according to Grigoryev’s words, “has certain degrees of skills and responsibilities.”
As the president, Grigoryev will deal with the organizational work along with the implementation of his personal knowledge in the fields of physics and engineering. Aghaev, the vice president, is the head of the programming department while Piachenin is the physics projects coordinator. Moreover, those three members can be seen as representatives of the three sub-departments in the club - Engineering, Physics & Mathematics and Software programming.
In the long run, Grigoryev plans to present the finished project to the community, the robot itself, which will show the club's productivity and efficiency.

Grigoryev is certain that the club would be beneficial to the community as a whole and not only to the people directly involved with it.
“This is the money of the students” he says, “And it’s highly appreciated.”
This is why he will hold a lecture, on February 22 (Wednesday) at 8:00 pm in BAC, room 004, where he will not only introduce the idea of the Engineering Club to the public, but also explain its uses and goals with the help of various media.
Do you think this club would be beneficial to you as you might be to it?
