WEEF has officially reached a principle of $14,000,000. This is another big milestone for WEEF and it couldn’t have happened without the support of its members. This term, WEEF will again be spending $60,000 towards improving undergraduate labs, getting state of the art educational resources to students, and funding several student teams. The final allocations will be announced later this week.

Many aspects of such a well-established student endowment fund makes WEEF one of the best things going for the undergraduate engineering students here at the University of Waterloo. It would be difficult to say that WEEF is anything less than the best (and largest,) endowment program for a Canadian engineering school. How many other programs provide $60,000 each term to improve the student experience? Between student teams and individual student initiatives, and the faculty and support staff projects, there are WEEF stickers going up across the engineering faculty and other engineering involved departments showing where WEEF has been able to make a difference to students. Student teams bear the mark of student supported equipment and tooling; labs contain institution and industry leading equipment for students to learn the hands on skills required to be a successful graduate, all with a WEEF sticker close by.
