This information will be added to the scholarships page on the website eventually, but I thought it important to pass the information long ASAP, as the deadline is rapidly approaching!
See Coast Capital’s website for details, or this poster: Coast Capital Scholarship Poster.

The pilot wave of ECCTs from November have been marked! The faculty is currently working on a distribution system using Vista, and you will receive your results very soon.
The next sitting of the Engineering Communications Competency Test will be held on March 24, from 6 to 830 pm in Wood 2 and 3. To take this test, you must have successfully completed a 1st year English course, or its equivalence, or be currently enrolled in a 1st year English course, or its equivalence.
Update: Due to the conflict with the PHYS 153 midterm, the faculty is attempting to change the date of the ECCT to March 23. Details will be confirmed soon.
Refer back to this post for more details on the ECCT, and stay tuned for more information!
In response to student concerns, the faculty is looking into establishing guidelines for midterm scheduling. The EUS VP Academic is preparing a list of recommendations to present to the faculty, and we need your input! Give your constructive suggestions voice and make a real difference in the quality of your academic experience!
Calling all engineering students!

On February 11th there will be another BEEF AND PIZZA! Come out and share your ideas for improving the engineering student experience, from 12:00 – 1:30 in Kaiser 2020/2030, in return for a free pizza and pop lunch! This event is sponsored by your EUS and the APSC Dean’s Office, and is a great way to make sure your concerns are heard by the faculty and by students in a position to effect change. Mark your calendars, bring your opinions and be sure to RSVP to voice@ubcengineers.ca for guaranteed pizza! If you can’t make it, please feel free to email us anyway and voice your concerns.
Looking forward to seeing you there,

Happy studying,
Finals…are coming…
They have the uncanny ability to be able to turn C’s to A’s or B’s to F’s. Get your cheap engineering catered tutoring on campus with us to help you achieve that academic success (or non academic failure)!

“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.”
We have just introduced a scholarships page in our website. A new academic services web page and updated FAQs will quickly follow, so stay tuned for awesome new content!
A big thank you to Tom Curran, Assistant to the VP Academic, for putting these together for us.
