E-Week is a four to five day event in January organized by the E-Week Committee, which comprises the VP Internal, one or more E-Week Chiefs, and several E-Week Coordinators.
Structure
This event is primarily a competition between the many engineering departments of McGill. All E-Weeks have a particular theme employed to increase hype and energy among participants. This includes the Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical/Computer/Software Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mining Engineering, Bio-Engineering, Bio-Resource and Architecture departments. Additionally, a group of graduated students and older students known as "Old Patrol" are a part of the competition. Teams win points for a variety of things including winning competitive events like sports, design competitions, and drinking events. Points can also be received in the form of tiered events in the form of pre-drinks and overall rowdiness at night events. Finally, each E-Week has a large list of smaller tasks in the form of a Scavenger Hunt in which teams can complete to their own interpretation and degree. At the end of E-Week, the E-Week Committee counts up the points and the team with the most points wins E-Week and has their team name engraved on the coveted E-Week Trophy.
