Come tour all of the engineering clubrooms to help with your decision of which department to choose!
Each departmental club will have fun activities and/or presentations that showcase what’s special about that program. First years get the opportunity to ask questions of senior students who have been through everything before.
The first tour leaves at 3:30 pm sharp and the last tour leaves at around 4:00 pm.
Meet at the Cheeze and split up into groups, after which a tour guide will lead your group around for some good times. Hope to see you all there!

Please join us on this Thursday, December 3 from 12:15-12:45 pm in the Frank Forward Courtyard to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the massacre at l’École Polytechnique: On December 6, 1989, an armed man walked into an engineering class at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal. After forcing the men to leave, he stated that he hated feminists, and over the next twenty minutes, he shot and killed fourteen women before turning the gun on himself. As a result, Canada established December 6 as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.
Lin Watt, EUS President, will be emceeing the short program of speakers, which includes our Dean, Dr. Tyseer Aboulnasr. The program will be followed by a reception in Kaiser 2020/2030. Stay tuned for a forthcoming video that will also be shown at the reception.
You bring the beef, we’ll bring the pizza!

There will be a free pizza and pop for lunch, but be sure to RSVP to voice@ubcengineers.ca to ensure there’s enough pizza for you! If you are unable to make it, you can still send your concerns to voice@ubcengineers.ca.
