From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canadian Federation of Engineering Students (CFES) (Fédération canadienne des étudiants et étudiantes en génie in French) is the national association of undergraduate engineering student societies in Canada and exists to organize activities, provide services and interact with professional and other bodies at the national and international level for the benefit of Canadian engineering students. The organization is a bilingual non-profit corporation based in Ottawa Canada, managed by a volunteer team of engineering students and recent graduates from across Canada.

[edit] 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, consisting of the provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island
- Ontario
- Quebec
- West, consisting of the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the Canadian territories
[edit] 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 three Vice-Presidents
- four regional representatives called Ambassadors
- two members-at-large referred called Councillors
[edit] Partner Organisations
- Canadian Council of Professional Engineers
- Board of European Students of Technology (european student organisation for students of technology)
- bonding-studenteninitiative e.V. (german student organisation for students of engineering and natural sciences)
- National Association of Engineering Student Councils (American student organization for students of engineering and technology)
