''' | '''Graduating Class Pranks''' are a tradition of engineering that dates back many decades. Graduating classes have been known to erect monuments or engineering showpieces to demonstrate their class spirit and superiority. | ||
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, grad pranks became ever more popular, with classes determined to out-do each other with 'permanent' structures rather than ones that were easily removed. However, some pranks were forcibly removed by the University, and billed to the [[Engineering Society]]. Eventually, these permanent pranks were discouraged and banned in practice by the Engineering Society, which passed a policy which withheld discipline club funding until discipline grad pranks were fully removed. | In the late 1990s and early 2000s, grad pranks became ever more popular, with classes determined to out-do each other with 'permanent' structures rather than ones that were easily removed.
