Main Points
Continuing Culture
The Electrical Engineering club has many individuals of differing personalities that all aid in forming a very fun, compassionate, and inclusive community. To keep this tradition going even after we graduate, we will:
- Provide many more opportunities for team building, especially with new Jr. Execs
- Continue to encourage use of the clubroom for both academic and leisure means - Provide new opportunities for Jr. Exec participation in events such as E2-C2 and EECERT, and other academic events
- Encourage Sr. Exec and Jr. Exec socialization, especially at the beginning of the year
Academic Assistance
For a long time, the Electrical engineering club has strived to help provide academic resources to aid students in their studies, to continue this initiative we will:
- Work alongside 2nd year and 3rd year students to create comprehensive course reviews, as well as refine the current ones that exist with new material
- Guide students in their course sequences through mentorship, as well as online flowcharts through the website
- Work alongside Department and willing professors to create an exam bank similar to other discipline clubs
Furthering Opportunities
The Electrical Engineering Club has been providing opportunities for the acquisition and development of new skills, to further this, we will:
- Work alongside project groups/companies to host workshops where students can gain skills relevant to the industry
- Continue to refine the EECERT program to provide the opportunities for students to learn and practice basic skills in electrical engineering, particularly in skills future classes use.
- Host E2-C2 with the intent of diversifying the design challenge such that teams are gaining relevant hands on experience
- Host more networking events such that students may be able to find internships, Co-op opportunities and new grad roles.

About Them
About:
Ryan Lo is the incumbent Operations & Finance Assistant. Currently in his fourth year of study, Ryan is eager to continue the success and growth of the club and push it to higher limits.
Already a successful leader, Ryan has experience with his former role as the Vice-President of Operations for the Hong Kong Students’ Association, paving the way for many successful events and student experiences. He has also taken charge of recruiting Junior Executives this year, which resulted in the club seeing historic interest, recruiting, and output.
Through diligence, passion, and proper communication, Ryan aims to further the success that his predecessors have brought and continue to support the club by using his talents in leadership, finance, and soft skills to their full potential. He intends to streamline the Junior Executive hiring process by communicating closely with other Senior Executive members, ensuring that everything is within their needs. Additionally, his background in programming opens the door for many opportunities for automation and further streamlining in the accounting side. While not particularly talented in design, Ryan will be in full communication with not only merchandise coordinators, but also with members of the Electrical Engineering community in hopes of finding items and designs that would be desirable.
Ryan strives to bring complete, honest, and reliable results for the club that deserves it the most. EE Fox!

Introduction
Hello Fellow Electrical Engineering students, My name is Matthew MacKenzie, and I am excited to be running for VP Academics and Services for the EEclub for the 2026-27 academic year. Acting as an Academic Services Coordinator this year I have been able to participate in this year's academics and services team and hope to make meaningful improvements to this club that benefit all EE students. Below is a detailed summary of changes I hope to make for the coming year if you choose to elect me:
1. Jr. VP./ Coordinator Retention:
As an Academic Services coordinator this year, one of the major challenges our team faced was that although a large team of coordinators were hired, not many actually attended meetings or participated in the team activities.
A possible reason for this would be due to the fact that hiring took place as midterms were starting. To combat this I would heavily push to hold Jr Vp./coordinator hiring as early as possible before people’s schedules fill up. Additionally I hope to emphasize the need to attend meetings, in the application form and interviews, in order to fulfill the requirements of the role and I hope to make a team discord as early as possible to form an early sense of community between members.
2. Do Midterm and Final Review Guides/Sessions
The academics team has done well to make study/review guides for Midterms and Finals, I hope with a good team of coordinators we will be able to make new/updated versions for second year courses, as well as some for third and fourth year courses that have not been done before. This year we were not able to host face to face review sessions for students. I believe that such review sessions would be quite beneficial to students as we can actively hear and answer questions and confusions students have in real time. Therefore I hope to begin hosting such sessions in the coming year.
3. Continue the creating of an EE exam bank As many of you know the CHESS club has an Exam bank, where students can get access to past year exams to help them study for current exams. I find that this is one of the best methods for students to study for their exams as it can give you a feel of what the structure and form of the questions asked in the courses exams. This has proved difficult in the past as many EE profs are reluctant to make their past exams public. However, I believe that with persistent communication with profs we may be able to get a start on the creation of one. If a few profs agree we may be able to convince others for years to come and then we can make a strong bank of resources
Why Vote for me?
I have always been passionate about helping others to succeed academically, I like to help findtopics where others are confused and re-explain it to them in a way I believe relates to their current understanding. Second and third year students who took Math 309 may have already seen the review guides I made for the midterms and the final, and I hope to make some final review guides for the classes I am currently taking in second year second semester. I am excited for the opportunity to better the resources made available to ECE students through the EE Club!
