Committees committees committees. They're the lifeblood of the EUS, concentrating the interest of engineering undergraduates into specific bodies with specific mandates. They cover a major of all [[EUS Groups]], and wildly vary in scope, mandate, and membership.

==Definition==

The term committee is stretched so thin by the various groups that hold it's title, it's tough to put a strict definition on it; both [[The Plumber's Faucet]] and the [[Equipment Funding Committees]] share the term, where's the overlap?

The definition of a service is tricky; it could be argued that event planning committees provide a service, that [[Plumbers' Student Design]] is a service, but by the strictest of definitions they are not categorized as such. Service committees today tend to be in demand year-round by the students, exchange currency for the service, and have paid [[Student Employees|employees]].

~~==== Select~~ Committees~~====~~

Select committees, also commonly referred to as ''ad hoc committees'' are created to aid the EUS executives research issues of interest. They '''''are not''''' selection committees, see below. Select committees exist for the duration of the time needed for research; the findings are then reported to [[Council|~~EUS Council~~]] ~~alongside a recommendation.

Selection Committees exist to aid in the fair selection of a variety of leadership roles among the EUS, including, but not limited to the EUS [[VP Finance]], Service Managers, and chairs of the various EUS groups.

Standing committees are groups that assist in the machinations of EUS, be it for funding, sustainability, first-year outreach, and so on. They exist as a '''supportive role''', working to fulfill the EUS operating mandates.

Service committees is a term for groups that ''explicitly provide services.'' While it may seem redundant, yes, technically all of the EUS services are considered 'Service Committees'. The definition of a service is tricky; it could be argued that event planning committees provide a service, that [[Plumbers' Student Design]] is a service, but by the strictest of definitions they are not categorized as such.
