So after four long days of lounging around in the paddle pool on Oak Lawn we're pleased to announce that Engineering Camp has well and truly sold out! We're still collecting the money from freshers who only paid deposits (get on that freshers!), but we have a long waiting list, so anyone that doesn't pay up will be quickly replaced!

Also, in a somewhat unprecedented move, this year we've managed to get 70 men and 50 women coming on camp. It's awesome to see more and more women moving into engineering!!!

Things to look forward to in the coming weeks:

O-Day: We'll have the pool out again, potentially a slip 'n' slide and general shenanigans!

2012 t-shirts: The design is done, t-shirts are now in the hands of our supplier, get keen!

Camp: Did we mention camp enough? No. Camp, get keen!!!

Dreamfit: UEC has set up an awesome weekly volunteering opportunity with local company Dreamfit - you could be spending your Saturday's helping to build tools to assist people with disabilities in experiencing things like riding motorcycles, sailing and hovercrafting!! Contact our president Lachy (president@uec.org.au) to get involved.

Hey freshers! I'm pleased to announce that ticket sales have so far been a raging success- the committee has been giving the pool a workout and perfecting our Vortex throwing skills whilst going through well over half of our allocated ticket amounts!

So what does this mean for you?
If you're reading this and you don't yet have a camp ticket, make sure you get down to the Oak Lawn tomorrow between 9am and 5pm and get one! You can pay the full $100, or just pay a $20 deposit, and pay the rest a bit later!

Get involved!!

It's already enrolment week for 2012 and the UEC is getting active on Oak Lawn, swimming in our pool and goofing around promoting Engineering Camp! Make sure you come down and say hi, especially if you're a fresher, but even if you're a friendly upper year (wear your UEC shirt if you have one!). We promise not to bite, although we advise steering well clear of the Arts and Law tables as they tend to get a little crazy!

We had a few interested Freshers who could find the website, but couldn't find UEC on Facebook, so here is a comprehensive list of all the things you could do on Facebook relating to us:

Join our UEC group

Look at photos from old events (and like the page to see photos from events you'll be a part of this year!)

Camp Event: Click "Attending" after you get your Fresher Camp ticket and talk to fellow camp-goers!

Friend our THEBSEs... You'll find out more about them as the year goes on

So get involved and hope to see you on the Oak Lawn!

Engineering Fresher Camp is on again from the 24th to the 26th of February! Clearly the best way to kick off your university experience, especially if you're intending to get involved with engineering (we know that's a little harder to grasp with these newfangled degrees!). So sign up during enrolment week (Find us on the Oak Lawn!) for the easiest way to make new friends whilst having the weekend of your life! (See the attached poster for more information!) 

Also- Success at our stall outside the pre-enrolment sessions. We met a whole bunch of new engineering science enrolees and everyone was excited about UEC- even Engineers' Without Borders, seen here playing with our special limited edition UEC balloons!

Nominate Yourself Here!!!

Do you want to be more involved in the UEC in 2012, or does one of your friends? Then come along to the UEC AGM on Friday, 21st October, 1pm in ELT2.

There are a number of positions that you can nominate for, to be on the 2012 UEC Committee.  In order to nominate for the committee, you must be currently enrolled in a Bachelor of Engineering or Mathemics degree at UWA and have reasonable intent to be enrolled in either of these degrees for both semesters in 2012.

In 2012, UWA will be introducing a new course structure for under-graduate students.  As a result of this, Engineering will no longer be an undergraduate degree at UWA.  In order to keep the University Engineers' Club running, a number of proposed changes have been made to the constitution which will be voted in at a Special General Meeting on the 12th of October.
