The Engineering Institute of Canada
‘][‘HE objects of the Student Section at U.B.C. are the advancement
JL of practical engineering knowledge among its members, the develop
ment of a professional interest on the part of those who are going to
become engineers, and to impress upon the students the advantages
derived to themselves and to the profession by being members of an
organized society.
To this end the executive arranges weekly noon-hour talks, where
qualified speakers are heard representing all branches of engineering.
The meetings are open to all, and are frequently illustrated with slides
or films.
In addition the Section holds a Student Night, where papers are
delivered by members on engineering subjects. The papers delivered at
this mceting may be entered in competition for the prizes offered to
students or juniors by the Headquarters of the Engineering Institute.
An annual dinner also is held to promote closer relationship between
students and practising engineers.
To give an insight into the actual practice in engineering, field trips
are taken to places of interest in or around Vancouver. These included
the Vulcan Engineering Works, the Ruskin Power Development, the
engine room of the Empress of Japan, and the Vancouver Creosoting Co.
