Carleton University's fall orientation program for engineering and design students! Thinking of joining the Carleton Engineering family? What is EngFrosh?
Trying to make heads or tails of this "frosh week" thing you've heard about? Look no further - EngFrosh is here to help explain everything! EngFrosh is Carleton's official orientation program for new students in Architecture, Engineering, Industrial Design and Information Technology. (But students from other programs are welcome too!)
The primary goal of EngFrosh is to help you get comfortable with your new life at Carleton, by allowing you to bond with your soon-to-be-classmates in a fun and safe environment. In doing so, you will be creating a personal support base of new friendships, something that you can use for getting help (be it academic or otherwise) when you need it most. There is also the benefit of meeting upper-year students in your program, who will quickly become a valuable resource for when you need assistance. EngFrosh does NOT incorporate any acts of "hazing" into its program, and all of our volunteers receive extensive training. The purpose of EngFrosh is to make students comfortable in their new surroundings, not to intimidate or humiliate them. How does EngFrosh differ from the other Carleton orientation programs? There are a number of other orientation programs offered at Carleton. Some incorporate the entire campus, others are focused on specific interests. However, no program will help you meet other students in the Faculty of Engineering and Design - the people who will eventually become your classmates or lab partners - like EngFrosh will. Because it is tailored for certain programs, you'll stand a much better chance of getting to know many of the people you'll be spending the year with. And since EngFrosh is smaller, we are able to do a wide variety of activities (like white water rafting!) that can't be done with the larger orientations. What else can you tell me about EngFrosh? EngFrosh is a service provided by the Carleton Student Engineering Society (CSES), with the full support and endorsement of the Faculty of Engineering & Design (FED). It is organized and run entirely by hundreds of student volunteers, who all come back to EngFrosh year after year since they enjoy it so much. EngFrosh also is your introduction into the tight-knit family that is the Carleton Engineering Community. We're crazy, we're proud, and we have A LOT of fun! You'll meet the movers and shakers of our Engineering Society, who provide a wealth of services and social events throughout the year. And, you'll be exposed to many of the other ways you can take a break from all that studying, get involved and have some fun yourself!
