The Semesterly General Meeting for Stream A will be held on Thursday, May 9th at 3:00 in the ELW Lobby.
We will be voting on the budget for the Summer as well as a couple minor motions. Almost all of the positions on the executive are up for election, so this is a great time to come out and start getting involved with the ESS. Elections will of course be followed by free pizza.
We hope to see you there!…
We are now accepting applications for WESST Executives’ Meeting, which will be held from May 4-6, 2013 in Regina, Saskatchewan.
Executives’ Meeting is the most professionally focused conference that WESST hosts; intended for the development and transition of society executives from across Western Canada. EM is strategically planned to take place in early May, when most engineering societies have just finished their elections for their new executive. With a heavy focus on transition of documents and knowledge, any member of the society that has previously held an executive position, currently holds an executive position, or is looking to hold an executive position in the near future is encouraged to apply.
When applying, please fill out the form for your respective stream.

COMPETITIONS:
JUNIOR DESIGN
Teams of four are given their challenge the morning of the junior design competition. The challenge usually involves designing, building, and testing a simple machine or structure to complete a given task. Teams have to consider limited resources and a scoring matrix to best maximize their score. After only four hours, the teams must present and test their prototype before the judges.
SENIOR DESIGN
Teams of up to four will have 12 hours to design and build a device that will complete a given task or set of tasks that will be presented to them on that day. These typically involve a range of specialties and are far more complex than junior design. The teams will have to give an in depth presentation the next day, and execute their testing before a panel of judges.…
