Engineering Floor Quotes
"Living on the engineering floor with students who share similar academic goals creates a great learning environment and a special sense of community. Residents form study groups and tutor each other. The fact of being surrounded by students who share their academic workload forms a special bond between them. Where else do you see friends bonding over homework?!" - Farah Vega, Engineering Floor RA
Floor Activities
- Tower Building Contest: Residents on the floor compete annually in a tower building contest. With a half hour time frame and only spaghetti and marshmallows, residents use their creativity to compete with their fellow peers and friends.
- Bowl-it-Up: Bi-annually, the Union Bowling Alley is rented out for a night of fun for the residents. Two free hours of bowling, what could be better?
- Service Projects: Residents participate in community service projects. This year, the floor, with the help of RHA, was able to donate 19 fleece blankets to the McKay-Dee Hospital Pediatrics unit.
- Celebrate Geek Holidays! Gravity Day, Pi Day and e Day are all celebrated on this floor. Residents are able to relax and mingle in honor these glorious "science constants" celebrations.
- Departmental Dinners: These monthly dinners are a great way for students to make connections with members of the engineering field and learn about opportunities in the industry!
