MANDATE DENIED Q EMF falls through Engineering Soci ety "A" has failed to approve the Quality of Educati on Maintenance Fund proposal in the second and deciding rp. ferendum held Oct- ober 27 and 28. St ephen Yip. Chief Returning Officer for the QEMF referen- dum. announced the out come early in the evening of Octobcr 28. This result represents the cunclusion of a campai gn which began last March. QEMF was to have been established "in order to mai ntain the quali t y of engineering edu- cation".

Engineering Soci ety "B" held Iheir refer endulll in July. They had a 78% vo ter t urllout . of whi ch 81% were in 63% of the eligible voters turned out for the Engineering Society "A" referendum. 55% of them came out in favuur of QEMF - less than the requircd two-thirds majolity. This resulted in the defeat of the proposal. Dean Lennox was also dis - appointed in the referendum result. He saw. QEMF as having more thall dollar value. To him it was also a potential cntalyst which Ihl\C in- creased contribut ions from al- umni. Certainly the money would have been handy in some situa- tions. but QEMF was to have been only a temporary measure.

Whal does it take to motivate students to spend a few moments to vote in a referendum which concerned every student in What does it take to convince students to attend a presentation by theAPEOand its present registration regulations? Within the past week, within engineeri ng, we ha ve had it two day rderl!ndum which "boasted" a vote l' t urnout of 63'%'. When! nre tht! renHlining 37%? Do they believe that effective deciSIOns can be reached by abstaining from decision making? I have always thought one of the most important IIbilities an engi lH!pr must have is the ability to weigh HII the availahll' facts wilhin his mind and formulate an ap- propriate opinion. He musl have till' confidt'nce and commit him- self to it. Whal was the problem this past week for 37% or the student population? Why were those opinions not voiced in the October 27, 28 QEMF refere - dum? Secondly, I would like to comment upon the poor showing at (;rant Boundy's presentation on "The APEOToday" un Friday, October 29. Presf'ntly we have abuut 2100 engineering students on campus. Friday, at 12:30, IlpprC)ximatcly 60 (approximate- ly 2.8%) attended Mr. Boundy's lecture. Certainly more of us are interested in this AssociHtion Ihlln these meagre attendance figllres indicate, are we no!'?

Exr.uscs Rlways {'xist, but Ihey do not eliminate the obligalion we have. as professionals, to listen to thosr. who regulate Ollr fictions. Hopefully this body and other simi lar regulatory bodil!s will always be right, but if someday changes are being mnde or are not being made and only 2.8% or all engineers show interest...Lord help us!!!!!! Anita Van Den Hurk the view from the top Ohviously, just lH'cause the QEMF relf'l'endulll was defeated, thisdoes not me<lntheproblelilof l1ndrrfunding to (lUI' laculty will disappear. Th('rrfor(', QEMF ought to bethoughtllfonly asonl' alt ernat ive. This past wpekcOll u t the APED (;onferr.ncp. which was, of course, hosted by EngSuc A, I had a chance to talk to rrom the other engineering schools in Onldl'io "bout till' problem of underfunding. A number of students had opinions anti ideas about under- funding and the most notable of those ideas Gume from Gus Rinella, one of the conference delegatp.s from the University of Toronto. I Hm sure most of you are awal'l' Ihat this past spring, U of T instituted fI $100 incidental f(,l' for the undel'gl'aduate engin- eering students. This fee would be used so lely forthe purchaseur undergraduate equipment ilnd hiring of teaching assistants. Like the QEMP. U ofT's fund was voted in for a three year mandate and th!' fund is reviewed yearly by the engineering socit'ly. Atso, the fund can be dissolved by the students if they are not satisfied with it s operation or results. The big difference between the U of T fu nd and QEMF is that their fund is allotted by the faculty and not by a separate faculty-student committee. An- other chnracteristic of their fund worth noting is that 75% of the fund is distributed Ito the dif- ferent departments within the faculty based on the number of s tudents tuught by thai c11'pnrt ment In type of quotn system). The remaining 25% would be uSl'd fOl' funding of equipment or tl';H:hing assistants t(JllI' used by n1OI' (, than one departml'nl. As I mpntionect herore, thl' II ufTfund is a $100(;ontrihution per 5t ud(w t per yetiI' making the rund worth approximately $25(),000 per Yl'al'. ellS, who is in the metallul'- )oIic,d engillecl'lng department. stated Ihnt a ll'eadysl'vpral pieces of equip111ent have been bought lIsing this fund for his dl'part- men!. Allot h('r met hod which the lJ of T students nrc using to solici t funds IS by a four day telephone ci.ln\assing blitz of their alumni by the undergraduate students this fall. Gus said that ahout lI'n students from each class lVould be working on this Inur dny canvassing. ' It is evident Ihat the U of T are addressing thl' problem of underfunding in lJ consl rUGt ive wa v. Instead of re Iyi ng sole I yon the govl'l'n men t. they hine looked towal'dsothers, namely the students and thl' alumni for help in sohjng thp undel'funding problem. The alternatives which U of T has come up with deserve some a\lention and I would be inter- hearany proposals, ideas or suggestions that anyone here at Waterloo has come up with because, as I stated before, the underfunding problem will not disappear by itself. JeffCo\ To the editor: Engineering stU<iI!l1tS in the "A" stl'en111 have spoken in df'l1lOcrilCy'S 10ucII'st voice -the referendum - and the QEMF is dead, at for n{Jw. At the risk of sounding like a poor loser, (I actively cam- paignl'tl fIJI' the YES committee) I would liketoput rorwflrdsomeof my thoughts on the results. First Iy, an opport unit y has he!!n lost. This proposal pro- vided an opportunity ror stu- dents to hav e il greater voice in our educntion. Certainly. any proposal that can provide sur-h an opportunity should be regar- ded in a positivI' fashion. This is what has bel!n lost. Srcondly, valuable time has bern lost. This proposal was sl'ven months in prepal';ltion for this wl!ek's vote. It is not dirficult to helieve that it will tab! at Il'ast this much timp for another im- proved proposal to be put ror- ward ror approval. the lab equipment is not getting any younger. Finally, and most importantly. we have lost t he chance to show the University, the government. and the general public that Waterloo engineering s tudents can provide uniq ue Hnd const ruc- tive soluti ons to the problem of cutbacks in the funding or OUR educat ion. QEMF was devised as a way ror us to contribute di redly to OLJ I' edllc<1t ion ina WilY whil:h would IJI' visihll' to both the lJniversil l' communit\, and those pellp).' tlll\ n in Queen's Park. It was hoped, perhaps naively, that this laller gro'up would see that we, as students. Friday November 5, 1982 Page 2 for engineers will be in the spring of 1985, it is an u njusti fied act ion. Students in the past have had no di fficulty. The only st udents who will have trouble securing em- ployment are in the class of '83 and they will not be affected by Any decision. Concerning the that Waterloo students get "Idtovpr" jobs, resumes could be llldiled out in the fall or some othl'r arrangements r.ould be Illude. Thl're are many difficulties foreseen with the idea ofadouble workterm at the end of the 38 school term. A student may only locatl' employment for a four month period. What would hel sh., do with the rI'lllaining four Also a student may not lor.ate employment at all; there- fore, he w[)u Id be idle for 8 months.

How could over 50% of the voters actually deny themselves a bet- ter education? Are they too cheap!!! Are they too concerned that nolhing will result (rom their money? What the hell will a UW degree be worth? Already employers are taking grads from other schools in equal if not greater numbers. No longer is the UW grad a priced person with his co-op education. QEMF was an idea. It was an idea to upgracle the environment in which we learn. It didn't propose to completely revamp and up- grade every depart ment and their faci Ii ties. Ins tead it represented a fund to promote undergraduate improvement for all engineering depart men ts. Su re, a lot of money is required to meet all the re- quirements. out without QEMF th ere will be no improvements. ow, soml! engineering stu- dents are selfish and wanl the money to go only to their depart- ment. so they voted no. Well, consider that t he budget for new etjuipmcnt this year is under $:JOOO. I hope thos e damned self ish engineers use outdated etju ipment (or Iheir entire school years Hnd don't find jobs due to insurficient knowledge or pre- senttl'chnolllgy. Eng ineering is ongoing. Evol- ulion never stops. To keep up with technology we need the investment in teaching equip- ment and aids. A vote of QEMF would a t lea s t ha ve been a start at enh;rnc: in g conditions.

The u nder- funding problems which gave rise to the QEMF proposal arc still very much in evidence. Dean Lennox will continue to canvass alumni and act i vely seek out new sources or funds with or without a QEMF. The puzzle seems to be how students can act to ensure the quality of their educatLOn is maintained. The mood in the plo-QEMF camp is understandably on of disappointment. Jeff pre- sident of Eng Soc "A", couldn't put his finger on anyone reason for the defeat, but suggested a variety of factors which may have contributed. He thought that students had been saturated with facts and opinions on QEMF since last spring and many have become a little fed up. Jeff relt that the YES campaign was as energetic: nnd strong a s the one run in th,! sUll1mer . He was cr iti cal of the 0 campaign, which fo(;ussl d students' at- tl'lltion on the nuances of word- ing and spt'c iri,: details, which caused Itwlll to lose sight of the broad purposf' of the proposal.

Next week, Jeff Cox and Mark Liddy will meet with nlf'mbers of the NO ccllnpaign to discuss alternatives. jf!rr that the many people who voted against the QEMF proposal have though t about other ideas and ways to address the problem. Mark Liddy and "8" stream students "Yill also be looking at dit rerent ways fo approacb the problem. It is Mark'sfeelinglthat thedrift maybeinthedireclionof private student contributions. These may be in the form of contributions to Ihe Dean's Of- fice, or perhaps a group of students might get together to purchase a piece of needed equipment, say a microcompu- ter. Classes may join together to buy things that they need. Of course. these ideas are still in the speculative stage. In the aftermath of QEMF, many new ideas will be tossed arouRd and many new proposals will be considered. If anyone out there has thoughts and ideas, make them known. It is through discussion and consensus that new solutions will be found. This is an opportunity for everyone to get involved, and to participatein the search for solutions to issues which are central to our educa- tion.

IRON WARRIOR Design Competition strut This year the annual Ontario Engineering Design Competit- ion is bping held at Queen's University in Kingston. Well. what of it? You as an engineer will most likely become an element of the interface bet ween the theories and discoveries of science Clnd the layman population of which our world consists for the most part. And technology seems to be moving ever further Clnd eve r fCistel. increasing this infor- mation gap. [n addition to our "practical applications" we will also have to be able to com- municate these new ideas and technologies in a manner that is acceptable to the general public. The OEDC has three main goals, and I quote: a) the establishment of a com- petitive forum through Friday November 5, 1962 Page 6 lets your which engineering students may focus their strengths in problem solving and com- munication - two key ab- ilities in successful engin- eers, b) the promotion of interaction between engineers from var- ious sectors - government. industry and academics - with each other and with students to increase bonds bet ween these sectors. t:) the minimization of differ- ences between the scientific community and the public. To make technical issues comprp.hensi hie to t he pub- lic. communications must be i ncreaseu bet wee" these groups. Public concerns must also be heard and understood by members of the scientific community. you stuff This is the fourth year of this competition, and these goals of the original competition are still the driving force behind the whole concept. How, What , When? The OEDC is open to all under- graduate engineering students registered in a full time program at an Ontario university. Each team I'vhich enters is required to post a fee of $25 per student on the team and this must be sub- mitted with theapplicationform. This application form, available at the Orifice. must be received by t he firs t of Decem ber. This is not to say that the project is to be finished by that time (which would eliminate all t hose with- out something on the go already) but rather just that the proposal for the project must be sub- mitted. It is possible that some cat- egories of pro posals recei ved will receive more entries than can be permitted, so it is best to apply early. The competit ion is divided up into four categories, with sep- arate judges for each category, selected on a basis of their com- competence in engineering and business. The judges will also be permitted to ask questions freely and seek any necessary infor- mation. Everyone who enters receives a plaque in recognition of their involvement in the competition. Third place winners in each category tak e home $300, second place winners $400 and the winners. $500. The first of t he four categories is En t repreneurial Design. En- trants are to design a product or process not currently of Can- adian origin. Lest that not be all to clear. let merephrase t hat. One often hears that Canada is a re- source-based nation, dependent for the most part on technology which has been imported. In this ,categnry .. students are encour- aged to develop a product or process for Canadian industry which is not only technically sound, but also economically feasible. Teams of four are permi t ted, to a maximum of 16 teams. A two page ou tlin e must be submitted with t he application. A display in the form of a booth is expected at the competition in March, and this should include design draw- ing, a cost benefit analysis in its application. and a prototype. The prototype is not required, but is recom mended. Since cmnmunication is a major portion of the compet- tition a one page explanat ion and an oral presentation (15 min- ules) are required with the design. Judging is done on the fol- lowing basis: Originality 25% Difficulty and Suit- abili ty of the Chosen Problem 25% Technical Feasibility 15% Economic Feasibilitv 15% Presentation . 20% The second category is in Cor- porate Design. Entrants are re- quired to analyze and find a solution to an existing Canadian industrial problem. This cate- gory is aimed at pruviding prac- tical experience through solution of aut hentic technical problems. Once again, a team may consist of up to four students, each one selecting one of the problems IRON WARRIOR from a list published by the OEDC committee. This list is available in the OEDChandbook in the Orifice, and makes some interesting reading. A limit is set of three groups per problem. so once again it isbest toenterearly. Since information supplied is only scanty. each team making a submission will receive thename of a person responsible for the problem with the corporation concerned. The name. address and telephone number of this "consultant" will be returned with the acceptance of the appli- cation. Some supplementary in- formation will also be provided. but entrants will be responsible for obtaining the remaining in- formation and specifications on their own. This tno must be displayed in the form of a booth. incluuing design drawings and an econ- omic analysis. A full descriptive rep(lrt she.dd be ;Jv.lilableas well as a one page brief. Once agnin. a fifteen minute oral present1:llion is necessary. and a prototype. although not required. is highl . recommended.
