Engineering Student Society

Picture of a group of students enjoying the moment.

The Engineering Students' Society of the University of Windsor is a student group representing all undergraduate engineering students at the U of W.

Throughout the year, the Engineering Students’ Society holds a number of academic and social events for engineering students. We have raised awareness and funds for local charities, competed in engineering contests, created study groups and have had several social functions in and around campus. Get involved! We need your input and ideas.

Please consult your class rep or check the Engineering Student Society website and postings throughout the bulletin boards of the faculty building for functions.

The Engineering Students’ Society also attempts to publish a newspaper once a semester.

We look forward to meeting you

The Engineering Society Executive Body and Board of Directors 2010

Acting President is responsible for everything Engsoc related. Though the president may not personally be involved in everything, at the end the buck stops with him/her. It is the job of the president to ensure that the society is moving in a way that the students wish to go.

The Board of Directors (BOD)
Yes, it’s exactly like Wall Street. Even the president, is accountable to the Board of Directors, who are elected by you. The Board of Directors is a group of students elected to oversee the actions of the executive and also function as s means of disseminating information to the student body. In more basic terms, they report on the state of the Engsoc to you the students. There are BOD positions available to any engineering undergraduate student, they are as follows:

First Year Representatives
Yes!! First year students can run for this position at the end of frosh week. You would get to be a full voting member of the BOD and make sure that the voices of yourself and your fellow First years are heard by the Engsoc and ultimately heard by the University. If you are interested in this position, please let someone on the Exec know, so we can nominate you.

Year Representatives
There is another set of representatives for each year of students; they function in the same way as the first year reps.

Departmental Representatives
It is no secret that we are interested in different fields of engineering, mechanicals aren’t Civils and don’t have the same concerns. So, every year a representative is elected by each faculty to the BOD, to speak for their respective discipline.

International Representative
This is a new position on the BOD this year.  With the nubmer of international students increasing every year, it is important that the Society has input from our international students, to ensure their voices are being heard.

Engineering Without Borders Representative
This is also a new position on the BOD this year.  This representative is a member of the Windsor EWB chapter, who communicates various activites they are participating in, so the EngSoc can assist and support them and our local community.
