The role of the '''''EUS VP External''''' is to help connect engineering students with resources and opportunities outside of the EUS, whether it be about industry events, conferences or social events with other universities. The mandate involves representing EUS members on a provincial and national level to professional and student organisations like the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec ([http://www.oiq.qc.ca/pages/accueil.aspx?lang=en OIQ]), the Canadian Federation of Engineering Students [[CFES|(CFES)]] and the Quebec Confederation for Engineering Student Outreach [[QCESO|(QCESO)]]. These two groups reunite all engineering students throughout Quebec and Canada, and serve as a platform for discussions to help us improve on making the engineering profession more relevant to our students, as well as improving the engineering student experience at each university.


==Letter from the VP External==
The VP External also oversees the delegation to QCESO and CFES events throughout the year to connect with other engineering students and schools from across the country. Keep an eye out for in house engineering competitions ([[MEC]]), Quebec scale competitions ([https://cqi-qec.qc.ca QEC] & [https://jeuxdegenie.qc.ca/ Quebec EngGames]]) and national competitions ([https://cfes.ca/cec/ CEC]) to put your skills to the test and meet incredible people. These competitions offer a wide variety of challenges ranging from case competitions and debates, to academic and sports competition! The portfolio also includes promoting the conferences to students hosted by the CFES to inspire and educate students within the EUS community, such as the Conference in Diversity and the Conference in Sustainability.  
<poem>
As VP External of the EUS, I help connect you with industries, opportunities and amazing people to enhance your undergrad. My mandate involves representing you (EUS members) on a national level to professional and student organisations like the OIQ (Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec), the [[CFES|CFES (Canadian Federation of Engineering Students)]] and [[CREIQ|CREIQ (Conférération pour le rayonnement étudiant en ingénierie au Québec)]]. These student federations, which regroup all engineering students throughout Quebec and Canada, serve as a platforms for discussions and help us improve on making the engineering profession more relevant to our students.

My door is always open so feel free to drop by the [[EUS Office]] to chat about what you have in store for the EUS and how we can make your time at McGill even more unforgettable.

== Bylaws, Policies & Contracts==
==How to Get Involved==
[[Bylaws]]:
The best way to prepare for becoming EUS VP External is to get involved in things related to the External Portfolio (duh!).
*[https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5HPcDrRC3V6MUJPMWtFQ09ORVE CDE Delegate Selection Committee]
To run for the position, it is recommended to be familiar with some of these:
*[https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5HPcDrRC3V6YnhDaFZaNVJJSkk CFES Congress Selegate Selection]
* Eng Games
*[https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5HPcDrRC3V6TThtNEt3WlpDaWc Engineering Games Committee]
* MEC, QEC, CEC
*[https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5HPcDrRC3V6cE1nNWNpN2p5Umc External Relations Director]
* QCESO (CREIQ)
*[https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5HPcDrRC3V6WUxnQi1OM3BCMm8 McGill Engineering Competition Committee]
* CFES
*[https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5HPcDrRC3V6MkNYZ3BwV2JjS2s QEC Delegate Selection]
* Other engineering schools and societies in Quebec or Canada
* General assemblies / council meetings in general
* EUS groups, events and services


Contracts:
Even though any VP External will learn a lot once they start their term, most elements are best learned by experiencing them rather than reading them from a handbook. For example, Eng Games has a very unique dynamic and culture that can be difficult to understand for someone who has never heard of or participated in them. A potential VP External should also be familiar with what the EUS has to offer (groups, events, services, positions, etc) since they will be the one representing the EUS to external groups and other schools. Finally, the VP External should have a good understanding of French and English to be able to participate and represent the EUS at QCESO and CFES meetings.
*Activity Agreement
*Delegate Agreement


In the past, a lot of VP Externals had previously held the position of External Director, although this is not an obligation.
