As you see, the letters E-C-A stand for the Engineering and Computer Science Students’ Association. We represent all undergraduate students registered in the engineering and computer science (ENCS) faculty. Unlike other big associations around Concordia, the ECA is not affiliated with the CSU so we’re focused 100% on our students.

Backing us up is a crack team of 8 executives, 4 departmental representatives, several directors, and many societies. This begs a question: just what exactly do all these people do?

Throughout the year we plan events, both academic and just for fun. The year always starts off with Orientation and Frosh. This is a tremendous party and first-rate networking opportunity for new students: get to know your fellow Froshies and older (wiser?) undergrads. Every Friday through the year, we have Lizard Lounge at Reggie's (the campus pub in the Hall building) featuring fun activities, free food, and inexpensive beer with all proceeds donated to charity -- we like our students fed and happy! Twice a year, Iron Ring is organized, where graduating engineers receive their traditional rings. Then beyond that is Eng Week, Movie Nights, Karaoke, Skip Trip, Engineering Ball, and more -- the list seems endless!

Is that enough? Of course not! We also design our very own clothing line, and even personalize your clothing on request with our very own, awesome embroidery machine. Swing by the B-Annex (2160 Bishop St., uphill from the Hall hall) to check it out. While you’re there why not crash out on the sofas, watch something (or play on our XBox) on the big-screen, or nuke your lunch between classes. It’s the perfect place to chill out and relax when you’re stressed out.

In short, ECA is your student organization. We’re supposed to work for you, and we lay it on the line to do just that.

But we need your help. A student organization is nothing without the students, so get out, get involved, have fun. You’re bound to find something interesting!
