Engineering Stores: Difference between revisions

The '''Engineering Stores''', known to students as Stores, is [[Skule]]™'s very own book and clothing store located in the basement of the [[Sandford Fleming Building]]. Stores is open throughout the academic year and sells first-year textbooks, leather jackets, coveralls, and a variety of patches and clothing on behalf of student groups. Since 2010, first-year students can also pre-order textbooks from Engineering Stores website, [http://stores.skule.ca stores.skule.ca] . As one of the non-profit commercial operations run by the Engineering Society, Stores is managed and operated completely by students.

[[Leather jackets]] are exclusively ordered through Stores, once in the fall semester and once in the winter semester.  Out of tradition, students do not purchase their leather jacket until the beginning of their second year, as many students may change disciplines or even faculties after first year.  Students typically adorn their jackets with their year and discipline, a common phrase such as 'SKULE', '[[SPS]]', or '[[Engineers Rule the World|ERTW]]', and patches of the various organizations which they are involved in. Starting in the 2008-2009 year, 'E4TW' (Engineers For the World) began to appear on leather jackets, as students preferred to focus on the responsibilities engineers have to the world. The abbreviation originates in a marketing campaign by the Division of Engineering Science and appeared on a prominent banner hung outside the [[Bahen Centre for Information Technology|Bahen Centre]].

[[Coveralls]] are typically purchased by students in April of the first year.  Coveralls provide an excellent way for Skule™ students to show their Skule™ spirit while giving them an item of clothing to get dirty in during practical activities.  Coverall decorations can vary greatly from student to student, from the simple addition of sewn patches to elaborate designs made with anything for paint to electronics.
