Are you thinking about going to graduate school?  The University of Waterloo is starting a new Masters Program in Business Entrepreneurship and Technology and are looking for new students for their university.  They are holding an information session on the 29th, Wednesday from 6-8pm, at Macleod 214.

Following up on UBC’s massive success at the Western Engineering Competition, the EUS and Shell sponsored the twelve student members of the four qualifying teams to compete in the Canadian Engineering Competition from March 18-21, 2010!

UBC was once again very successful, placing 2nd in both Senior Design and Extemporaneous Debate.  Congratulations to Andrew Carne, Bob Orlando, Justin Stevens, and Eric Pospisil for their second place finish in Senior Design!  Congratulations to Sean Heisler and Fraser Macdonald for their second place finish in Extemporaneous Debate!

If you are interested in attending CEC next year, look for information on the qualifying UBC Engineering Competition coming in Fall 2010.

The EUS Scholarship is here!

In order to foster growth, leadership, initiative, and innovation in the engineering community, the EUS feels it is important for the community to acknowledge and give back to those individuals who go above and beyond expectations and positively impact UBC engineering. 

From now on, every year the EUS will give back $3000 in scholarships to engineering undergraduate students! Applications are due electronically to vpacademic@ubcengineers.ca on 31 May 2009 for the first batch of scholarships, which will be given out in September 2009.  The $3000 is divided into four awards: two will be junior awards ($500 value each) for students entering second or third year.  The other two will be senior awards ($1000 each) for students with fourth-year standing in September.

For full details and the application, please see the attached document: 2009 EUS Scholarship Application Form

Good luck on exams, and happy applying!
