Rube Goldberg - Our First National Engineering Month Event

Wed, 02/29/2012 - 12:17am — mseliske

 Hello Everyone,

We have been very busy on the external front of late and I would like to tell you about one of the things we have recently been able to complete after a few weeks of working on it.  As stated in previous posts we have been planning a few things to promote National Engineering Month and one of those was the Province wide Rube Goldberg machine.  A small group of super awesome volunteers put countless hours into constructing a complicated machine to do a simple task.  

In our case that task was to recieve a signal via cell phone and then send a message to another school via the internet to start their machine.  The video of our creation can be found here:

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.
