SURGE Clubs

SURGE Clubs are designed to offer students the opportunity to engage with various research methods and technologies with a flexible schedule in mind. SURGE clubs are envisioned to meet students where they’re at and cater to all levels of knowledge.

NeuroTech Club

An expansion of SURGE’s previous Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Club, NeuroTech Club welcomes students across disciplines to explore the integration of neuroscience with technology. This club offers students the chance to gain hands-on experience with a wide range of neurotechnology instruments, such as electroencephalography (EEG) while learning about data science and machine learning techniques.

The NeuroTech club will relaunch in September. Questions about the NeuroTech Club? Contact us at bciclub@dal.ca! Interested in getting more information? Sign up for the waitlist here.

OceanTech Club

Starting in the 2024-2025 academic year, SURGE introduced its brand new OceanTech Club.

OceanTech Club spawned from SURGE’s previous ROV Deep Dive, where participants were keen to continue building their skills beyond the workshop. Students from all disciplines will be able to design, build, and test various Oceanography-related instruments, including remotely operated vessels (ROVs), Autonomous Underwater Vessels (AUVs), Concentration Temperature Depth probes (CTDs), and many more.

The club will meet weekly starting in the Fall Term. Interested in getting more info? Sign up here. No registration needed as the weekly sessions are drop-in. Can’t make it some weeks? No worries at all as the club is designed such that you’ll be able to jump back in easily. No prior experience is needed either! For any questions, reach out to surge@dal.ca!
