If you think UPEI- ucated engineers tend
, be substandard or if u believe UPEI—educated gineers get lost in
. shuffle of competit- ‘
m at Nova S tia- dunical College, my fiend, you are sadly 'staken. In fact, UPEI ,, a reputation of uming out above average gjneers to the point f being respected as , o. g the top pre- gjneering institutes Atlantic Canada. It is noteworthy to - tim that from the ope six Civil Engineer- g graduates from .s.T.C. last year, five, 5 5, including number e, hailed from our ry own campus. Not ad, considering six .S.T.C. Civil Engineering aduates in l978.came V rom UPEI. 'Ihis goes ith top standings in ther major disciplines as 11. TWO years ago ' ing the course of one emester, UPEI grads were imultaneously leading he Civil, Mechanical, qd 5th year I lasses. Another point 5 the fact that most jor departments at Tech ave had a UPEI graduate presented as having ed the Class in the last ive years. All this as result of the 10-20 tudents we send each
ear which means at any e time no more than
35—40 students among 700 are frcxn UPEI.
The administration of N.S.T.C. undergraduate Engineering society is not without its UPEI influence. This year's student president, Paul McKenna, graduated from UPEI in 1977. In addition, three other UPEI graduates carry executive positions in the Tech. society. In- cidentally the current president of Nova Scotia Technical College used to teach at Saint Dunstan's University.
The reasons for this obvious success are difficult to analyze. After all, we have no Engineering laboratories and very few technical
electives. It appears that the
educational system in P.E.I. turns out top students of which the Engineering mpartment of UPEI naturally attracts its share. In addition, the small personalized classes and closeness to professors certainly contributes
to the track record. The UPEI Mathematics and Physics are also to be commended.
Whatever the cause, there appears to be no doubt that UPEI has achieved a positive reputation of technical education in the Maritimes.

Student (buncil will be holding a general meeting in the Barn starting at 2:30. This will be an opportunity for all members of the Engineering Society to hear the reports of all the executive of the Student Council and to ask any questions they may have regarding the running of the Student Council activities.
This will be the last issue of the SUN until after Christmas so at this time we would like to- wish everyone the best of luck in the up- coming exams. It is also a bit early but we would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
