WEEF allocated a record-breaking $1,279,996.38 to student projects in 2023, including a $750,000 contribution to improving student spaces in partnership with the Dean of Engineering!

Funding goes towards lab equipment, furniture, and student design teams: anything class representatives deem in the best interests of students. These disbursements are made possible by 34 years of student and alumni contributions, growing WEEF's principle to over $22,000,000.

Have a proposal you'd like to bring to life? Winter 2024 applications are due Sunday, March 4th at 11:59 PM.

WEEF has signed a first-of-its-kind memorandum of understanding with the Faculty of Engineering, creating a long-term partnership to improve purchasing and reimbursements for undergraduate engineering students.

As the culmination of a multi-month investigation, the improvements include the hiring of dedicated full-time staff, moving away from manual claim systems, and improving options for students to not bear out-of-pocket costs for team expenses. Students will begin to see changes starting in the Winter 2023 term!
