The Engineering Society is proud to offer an amazing number of services. Here is just a brief summary so you know how to get around and fully utilize everything that is offered.
C&D (Coffee and Doughnut)
The Society runs a coffee and doughnut shop, with the lowest prices on campus. Just head over to Carl Pollock Hall (CPH) for low cost coffee and treats! There are also soups, sandwiches and many other lunch options. Please note that it is cash only.
EngSoc Office (a.k.a. “The Orifice”)
The Engineering Society Office, also located in CPH, is a great place to get cheap printing, photocopying, and report binding. Trust us when we say that cheap report binding will be a great thing for all of you in the near future. Please come by and check out what else the Orifice has to offer, and to say hi to all of the lovely Engineering Society executives.
POETS
POETS is our student lounge and is a great place to hang out in between classes or after a long day of engineering. You can find it in CPH foyer and its open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. every day and for special events. There is a pool table, Foosball table, and movies playing round the clock! Though everyone is welcome all the time, look out for special “first year Fridays” throughout the term!
Novelties
Engineering Novelties is your one stop shop for all you could want in Waterloo Engineering swag. Located between the C&D and POETS, it is typically open Monday to Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. We have everything you’d need from keychains to apparel to glassware. Come out and show off your Engineering pride.
Student Deals/Discounts
The Society offers a student deals program with discounts from local restaurants. Come on by the EngSoc Office, CPH 1327, and pick up your FREE student deals sticker. All you have to do is show the sticker at participating restaurants, and get discounts! It really is as good as it sounds!
Resume Critiques, Interview Skills and Jobmine Party
Each term there are thousands of students at Waterloo looking for co-op jobs, but don’t worry! The Society runs numerous resume critiquing sessions where you will get one-on-one time with an upper year student to go through your resume and make sure it is tailored to the type of engineering career you want. In addition, we offer an interview skills workshop where you can practice answering some engineering specific questions and a Jobmine party where we offer a step-by-step tutorial on how to use our application software and cover everything from cover letters to prioritizing jobs!
Exam Bank
Midterms may be a stressful time, but we try to limit that stress by having an enormous online exam bank where you can browse and search hundreds of past exams to help you study. The online bank makes it super easy to get a sense of what your first university exams will look like, and will enable you to earn that 100%. You can find it on our website engsoc.uwaterloo.ca.
Text Book Library
Textbooks are important for every class and can be very handy for extra research while writing reports or papers. The Society offers a free textbook library to students, so come check out our book collection in the EngSoc office and make use of this awesome service!
