South Pacific Indigenous Engineering Students (SPIES) Network

South Pacific Indigenous Engineering Students (SPIES) is a student lead association. Founded in 1992, we aim to support engineering students of Māori and Pacific Island descent during their time at the University of Auckland. With a 200+ member cohort, SPIES is actively involved within the faculty of engineering, university and the community.

SPIES has two main goals:

• To support the well-being of members academically, socially and culturally
• To promote professional engineering to Māori and Pasifika communities

To encourage students to be more involved while at university, SPIES organises events and workshops which build the students’ character through a friendly and supportive environment.

While an engineering degree is hard work, SPIES makes life a little more enjoyable.
