A member of the Melbourne University Students' Club was usually nominated to be an Assistant Honorary Secretary of the Society. In 1919, the Melbourne University Engineering Society amalgamated with other existing engineering associations, to form the "Institution of Engineers, Australia" as one of the Institution's eleven 'Foundation Societies', and its members transferred to the Institution as foundation Associate Members. Its proceedings were published as "The Varsity Engineer" in ten volumes between 1910 and 1916, with a War memorial edition published in 1919, to honour University students and graduates who had served in the war.
