QHow do you 'win' E-Week?
Points are awarded for every E-Week event except for Red Knight and the Engineers Ball (because we'd need to beat you off with a stick to keep you from going to those). Every time you go to an event you give your department points; every time you participate in one you give your department even more points; every time you win a competition you give your department a whole crap load of points!
The department with the most points at the end of the week is declared the winner and gets to keep the coveted E-Week trophy (presented at the Engineer's Ball) in their club room for that year!
We also have trophies in 7 other events to be presented at the Engineer's Ball!

Don't worry! Many events you can show up to half way and join teams! Especially E-Ball Soccer, Trivia, True Engineer and many more, you can sub players in and out! Plenty of events like Games Night, Pit Purge and more you can show up to whenever you are free!

QHow is E-Week better than the other Faculty weeks?
I challenge you to find a Faculty week that has as many events that we do, or as diverse events as we do, or as much spirit as we do.
ERTW!

QWhat are some tips for winning E-Week?
Hitting the big competitions and going for gold gives a huge advantage. If your ball model is looking sketchy and your film fEUSt acting is making your eyes bleed, try for attendance marks! Especially events like Godiva Band March, Old Red New Red, Pit Purge, the AGM and more all have massive attendance points! Bring out a huge number of people and it can be the same as winning an event!
QWhy should I be wearing red?
Wearing red makes your complexion look much better. It also cures several types of colds, improves agility and gives you power over the wild. You will also be irresistible to the opposite sex. And the same sex.
We also might give you candy if we see you wearing red. Seriously.
Oh! And you get cheaper burgers daily!

QWhat is a Ball Model?
A ball model is a chance for every department to make something not for a course, or necessity, but purely for fun.
Previous ball models have included a beer bottle organ, a tesla coil, a mining dragline, miniature nuclear reactor, a golden toilet, etc.
One rule: Must hold liquid.
