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.

Event Breakdowns

• Opening Ceremonies: The beginning of E-Week is announced and teams are given the Scavenger Hunt list and their "Dam Thing". From there some events occur going towards the night event to start E-Week off.
• Beer Die Tournament: A Tournament of Beer Die is held over the course of two days at Blues Pub between all teams playing against each other in a pre-determined bracket during their available time.
• Pub Crawl: Each team submits their team for this herculian event which consists of several stops around the city of Montreal finishing at a secret location.
• Beer Olympics: Multiple events such as beer pong, flip cup and such are held to determine which teams have mastered the art of beer consumption.
• Sports: A Sports Tournament is held outdoors and always involves Broomball and some other sports used have been Dodgeball, Flag Football and Quidditch.
• Ultimate Pre-Drink: The teams hold a Pre-Drink or Pre-Game for the Coordinators to judge for rowdiness, fun and general theme appropriation.
• Weapon of Mass Consumption: This weapon is designed and constructed by teams to meet the design criteria set by the coordinators. The end goal of this weapon is to consume the most amount of liquids in a short period of time.
• Design Competition: Make good use of your engineering degree with this competition. All of your skills will be tested at this event.
• Bus trip to nowhere: Hop on a bus and trust that the coordinators did their job correctly because this bus is headed to a distant land
• BOAT races: Need we say more
