The Engineering Capital Improvements Fund (ECIF) is used to support lasting capital improvements to student space and services in the Engineering Society. Each term, a certain percentage of the budget is allocated towards this fund (15% in the Fall and Winter, 5% in the Spring).

In the past, ECIF has funded a number of purchases, such as furniture for the POETS patio, a new projector for POETS, a drum kit, speakers and lighting equipment, and a bike repair stand. The ECIF funds are allocated by the Board of Directors, which is made up of 4 “A” Society At-Large Students, 4 “B” Society At-Large Students, the Engineering Society Business Manager, both Engineering Society Presidents, and both Engineering Society Vice-Presidents Finance. Any student is able to submit a proposal for the fund, which can be done year-round below.
