CFES Congress

The flagship event of the CFES, Congress serves as both the Annual General Meeting of the Federation, as well as a leadership development forum for engineering students from across Canada. Congress is typically held in the first week or January, spanning a full week of leadership development sessions, informational presentations, guest speakers from industry, a career fair and culminating in plenary, the decision making body of the CFES. At congress, the CFES National Executive and other officer positions are elected, and bids are made to host other CFES activities.

Complementary Education Courses (CE Courses)

Complementary Education, or CE Courses, provide an opportunity for engineering students to extend their education beyond the basic engineering curriculum. CE Courses focus on a specific academic or development topic, such as Biomaterials, Nanotechnology and Professional Development. In addition to the academic component, CE Courses offer a number of social activities, and are a great way to explore a new city.

Members

The membership of the organization consists of engineering student societies, rather than individual engineering students. Eligibility for membership is limited to those societies located at a Canadian university that has at least one engineering program accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board and represents engineering student concerns to the school's administration and engineering faculty.

The member societies are divided into four geographic regions for the purposes of representation on the Federation's board of directors:
  • Atlantic (New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island)
  • Ontario
  • Quebec
  • West (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the Canadian territories)

Board of Directors

As a corporation, the Federation has a board of directors that is responsible for managing the business and property of the organization. The board consists of 11 members elected at the annual meeting:
  • The President
  • The Vice President Finance and Administration
  • Four (4) Regional Ambassadors
  • The Activity Manager of the CFES Congress
  • The Activity Manager of the CEC (Canadian Engineering Competition)
