Hey First Year Students!  Interested in getting involved in the EUS this year?  Then this is an excellent opportunity to get involved by running for a position on the First Year Council.  Elections are scheduled for the 25th, and the nomination forms will be due by next Tuesday, the 22nd  at noon.  The applicants will give a small speech during the tEUSday meeting, after the nomination forms have been verified.  Nomination forms can be found here, as well as more info on what you can do on PP Council.

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!

P.S.  If you have troubles typing in the form portions of the application, please email vpacademic@ubcengineers.ca and ask for help!

Rising Stars of Research (RSR) is an exciting and unique event which brings top undergraduate researchers in science and engineering from across Canada to BC to showcase their research accomplishments and explore their passion for innovation.   The centrepiece of “RSR” is a research poster competition and includes workshops, talks from outstanding faculty researchers, facility tours, and of course, a great time in beautiful British Columbia.

The RSR online application will open on May 4th. Application deadline is Friday, June 5th, at 4pm PDT.

Here’s the start of the 2009 election. Guidelines and schedule are to come soon.

(revised Jan 30th)

Exec Nomination Form revised

Our current Applied Science student senator, Philip Edgcumbe, will be resigning his post at the end of this term, and as such we are looking for a replacement for January to March 2009! The applications (found here) are due on 28 November electronically to senator -at- ubcengineers d0t ca or in hard copy to the VP Academic box in the Cheeze.
See below for a description of what a senator does (courtesy of Philip):

“The Vancouver UBC Senate is the highest academic governing of UBC Vancouver.  It has approximately 90 members of which about 1/4 are students, 1/2 are faculty and 1/4 are the Deans and the upper level administrators at UBC.

As the Applied Science Student Senator, representing engineering and nursing undergrad students as well as graduate students in architecture, you will be expected to sit on one or two of the approximately 20 Senate committees, which generally meet monthly or bi-monthly.  Two examples of Senate committees are the Senate Curriculum Committee (approves all new courses and entries into the UBC calendar) and the Student Appeals on Academic Discipline (students appeal the academic disciplinary decision of the President’s office if they feel their punishment is too harsh.) Your position as senator also gives you a certain credibility within the faculties you represent.  For example, the last student senator worked with the EUS and the Engineering Dean’s office to organize a “Beef and Pizza” forum where students could come and share their concerns with student leaders and the Associate Dean, Engineering Students.

UBC student senators are also members of the Student Senate Caucus which meets for two hours before each Senate meeting.  At the Student Senate Caucus meetings students update each other about the progress of their respective committees as well as preparing for the Senate meeting.”

Attention ye Engineering Students!

Our Publicity Coordinating Manager, Joseph Kim, is looking for ex-officio postering assistants to help put up posters around campus a few times a semester.  This is a great opportunity to get involved with the EUS in a low-time commitment position and earn yourself that coveted x patch for your red jacket/cardigan.

For more information, please contact Joseph at jk0219 [-at-] gmail *dot* com!

Today’s the last day for the CFES application!
