Hello again! I have a couple of updates from the External world for you. Firstly, FYIC (First Year Integration Conference) was in Thunder Bay February 5-7. It was a great weekend and I was lucky enough to take a fantastic delegation along with me. We had a great time and were able to take part in some intriguing talks and presentations. Check out the full article by Ioana and Liz for more details!
The Ontario Engineering Competition went very well and I want to send a huge thank you to all those involved in the organization of the event – you made Waterloo proud! Congratulations to all the winning teams who will be representing Waterloo at the Canadian Engineering Competition in Toronto, March 18-21, 2010.
The Engineering Hockey tournament that Guelph is hosting March 6-7 is confirmed and we are one of the 6 teams from across Ontario competing. Each of the schools competing will be sending a team from their Engineering Society so it will be a fun weekend of engineers and hockey! I sent out an email with more details so please respond if you are interested in playing or have any questions! Currently I’m hoping to make it free for everyone who plays but depending on what we do for transportation, there may be a small cost per person.
Engineering is hosting the annual March Break Open House on March 16th for high school students and EngSoc has been asked to participate this year. We will be having a booth setup on the third floor of RCH from 9am-3pm that day and I’m looking for volunteers to help out so please let me know if you have one or two hours free that day. You will just need to talk to high school students about what EngSoc does and how engineers have fun at UW! There will be refreshments for volunteers throughout the day and you will get a free t-shirt out of it as well (tempting, I know!).
Lastly, the National Engineering Month directors have been working hard on Waterloo’s contribution to the Ontario wide Rube Goldberg machine. Engineering schools from across the province will be coordinating on February 27, 2010 with the finale ending at the Ontario Science Centre. The Grand Finale will be available to watch on Podcast as well!
And that’s all she wrote! Feel free to ask me about anything I’ve mentioned if you want more info or are interested!!
