Hello Wonderful people, I have a quick update for you all about what has been happening in the world of ESSCO! If you have forgotten, ESSCO is the Engineering Student Societies Council of Ontario and is more or less the Ontario EngSoc of EngSoc’s.  All of the Engineering schools in Ontario are a member and they facilitate conferences, discussion and a representation.

The ESSCO council is made up of all of the VP-External’s of all of the schools and we meet once a month in teleconference form in order to discuss what ESSCO executive have been up to and anything that needed to be discussed.  I (Lisa was there too) attended the February Teleconference on Wednesday February 22 2012 and other then general administrative stuff here is what was discussed.

Hey Everyone,

I have some exciting news about updates to POETS! We will be getting new coffee shop style tables and chairs for the upstairs of POETS (to the right when you go up the stairs). The furniture is a grad gift from the graduating class, so a big thanks to that graduating class! You can be expecting the furniture in the next 6-8 weeks.

 Hello all you beautiful people

I hope you are all having a great reading week! This blog post will be a quickie, so bear with me.

As you may or may not know, Professional Engineers Ontario is broken up into 36 local chapters which all contain a board of directors and volunteer engineers who try and promote Engineering within their local communities.  Our local chapter is called the Grand River Chapter and services Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambidge and Guelph.

Are you ENTHUSIASTIC and EXCITED about engineering? Would you LOVE to share your experience with others? EXPLORATIONS 2012 is looking for YOU!

WHAT IS EXPLORATIONS?

EXPLORATIONS will be taking place in the evening of Monday March 12. Thousands of Grade 6-8 students and their parents will descend upon Waterloo Engineering to experience the faculty by viewing a mix of displays in a tour of the various departments. The objectives of Explorations are to excite students about engineering in hopes of sparking an interest in continuing their math and science studies throughout high school, to provide the public with an opportunity to see what we do at the University of Waterloo, and to promote the Faculty of Engineering.

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to let you all know about an invitation we recieved from the Guelph Engineering Society in joining them at an event they run each Valentines day called Love Pub.  This year the Love Pub will be happening at a location within an hours drive of Waterloo (The location is secret to Guelph Folk so it may be closer).  They have invited Waterloo folk to attend this event and although we are not getting a bus, I think I will be driving to the event.  If anyone is interested in joining me by either driving a car load of people or taking one of the spots in my car let me know and I will share some more details with you.

Hello beautiful people!

This is just a quickie update as to what is going on.

1. ECIF! Submit an application! Do it! You have ideas, we want ideas. What do you want to see our EngSoc provide to you?!?!? ECIF!

2. Sponsorship! now in a committee form. Last council meeting we formed a committee to decide on the allocations of sponsorship, but I am also making various other changes to the way we run what was formerly "donations"

Change for Change is a competition to raise funds towards the Engineering Society's end of term charity donation.  Similar to Penny Wars, different coins have different values and teams compete to win, or at the very least not lose.  Pennies are worth 1 point and nickels, dimes, and quarters are each worth -1 point, and loonies and toonies are worth -2 points each.  If you are so inclined to donate a bill, they subtract ten times the points from all teams, except the team who donated it (e.g.

Hey everyone

This is Amin  and  I am writing for you guys  all the way  from  University of Waterloo Dubai campus , some of you guys who are currently reading this blog , might never heard of University of Waterloo Dubai campus , and ask your self does even such a place exists?  And the answer to that question is that yes it does! University of waterloo’s Dubai campus had its doors opened offering in only two majors Chemical , and Civil engineering in 2009 with around Eighteen students enrolled . Seeing the potential that this campus has faculty of math joined Dubai campus in 2010 offering majors in Financial Analysis Risk Management and IT. Currently in 2012 with over one hundred and ten students enrolled in four different majors university of waterloo Dubai campus has undergone over six hundred and ten percent growth with respect to 2010 with only eighteen students enrolled. This is a huge success for this campus. The students who study in this campus will arrive to Canada for the 3A term. The first generation of university of waterloo’s students is now studying for their 3A term in the main campus .
