Golden Gate]] in San Francisco and the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver. They have also modified the lights on the Lions Gate Bridge to blink out "UBC Engineers Do it Again" in Morse Code and in 1992 they stole the Rose Bowl trophy from a trophy case at the University Of Washington . The EUS belongs to several larger student organizations. On the regional level the EUS belongs to the Alma Mater Society Of The University Of British Columbia , on the regional level, Western Engineering Students' Socities Team , and the national level, Canadian Federation Of Engineering Students . MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the organization is to support the academic, professional, and social needs of engineering students, encourage excellence in all aspects of student life, and celebrate the accomplishments of its members. GOVERNMENT The EUS is the decision-making body for the engineers within the Faculty of Applied science at UBC. The EUS Council meets bi-weekly during the school year. The EUS Council consists of the EUS Executive and a representative from each of the 10 departments. The Council directs the Executive on how to operate throughout the year, while the Executive carries out these tasks. Non-voting members of council include the Faculty of Applied Science Student Senator, a representative from the Engineering Student Teams Council, a representative from the local chapter of Sigma Phi Delta , and a representative from the local chapter of Alpha Omega Epsilon . Three members of the Executive (President, VP External and VP Internal) sit on the Alma Mater Society Of UBC Student Council, representing engineering. EUS Executive

TRADITION Engineering Week As the offical Decree states "Hereafter, let it be known that the first week of the second month of all years of our Lord shall be deemed the Week of Engineering." Engineering week at UBC is organized by the VP Internal. During this week the EUS holds many events at which the Departments compete against eachother for points. Opening Ceremonies and Skulk Night, traditionally, are the first events. The winner of E-Week is awarded the E-Week trophy (a wooden cairn with a golden E). The Cairn The Cairn is a large concrete object that symbolizes the Engineering Undergraduate Societies contribution to student life on campus. Normally it is painted white with a red 'E' for engineering, however it is common that many other faculties on campus paint it their own colors. It has been made of high strength steel fibre reinforced concrete ever since it was blown apart in the 1990's. The Red Jacket A UBC Engineer jacket or cardigan is also often termed a 'Red' or a 'Red Jacket'. It is a red wool jacket with white details and has UBC ENGINEERING on the back. The Red Jacket is used to show pride in the faculty and usually has many patches sewn on that may or may not be earned by the wearer of the jacket. The tradition of wearing Engineering Reds goes back many years when all the faculties on campus wore their colors. Now the EUS and SUS (the Science Undergraduate Society) are the only faculties who sell jackets. The Engineer's Hymn The hymn is generally sang by the UBC engineers in various events, although it is a national engineering song. The hymn itself is about 64 lines in total. The following is the chorus of the hymn. We are, we are, we are, we are, we are the Engineers! We can, we can, we can, we can, demolish forty beers. Drink rum, drink rum, drink rum, drink rum, drink rum, and follow us, For we don't give a damn for any old man who don't give a damn for us! SEE ALSO
