Hi all, there has not been a whole lot going on since my last update so I’ll keep this brief. This afternoon I’ll be heading to Guelph for the First Year-Integration Conference, and next weekend I’ll be going to the University of Western Ontario with 29 other students from our school to compete in the Ontario Engineering Competition. If you are interested in engineering competitions and would like to represent our school next year, you will want to keep an eye out for the Waterloo Engineering Competition which will be taking place in the spring and fall terms.
Conference reports are a bit delayed, but they will be coming out once things settle down for me again. What with being sick for most of last week, I’ve just been trying to get back on top of things lately so I haven’t had a chance to compile and post the reports sent to me by the students that attended conferences. But once they are up, you’ll be able to see what kind of things get discussed at conferences and see if it is something you would be interested in.
I didn’t receive too much of a response about Canstruction when I sent out a call out on the mailing list, but if you are interested in participating in Canstruction please get in touch with me. Basically we are looking to build something really cool out of canned goods, and RIM has donated $2500 on our behalf for us to compete. All the food is donated to the Waterloo Region Food Bank after the event is over.
Lastly, the Dean’s Leadership Award deadline is coming up again in a few months so you may want to get cracking on putting together an application. More details on eligibility and how to apply can be found at http://www.engineering.uwaterloo.ca/leadership/index.html.
