#Eweek2025
Many clubs participate in Bot Wars, the marquee event of Engineers Week.
Engineers Week brings engineering at UB into the spotlight for a week in February with a series of student-run engineering and science-themed competitions.
About Engineers Week at UB
Each February, UB's student engineering clubs organize a variety of programs during UB Engineers Week to promote interaction among participating clubs and the campus community.
Most clubs host at least one activity, with some hosting two. Clubs earn points by hosting competitions, taking part in other club’s events and for placing either first, second or third in contests. The three groups with the highest total of points at the end of the week are awarded funds for their club budgets.

The SEAS Pledge to Professionalism Ceremony includes the Order of the Engineer and the Pledge of the Computing Professional. The Order of the Engineer is a fellowship of engineers that emphasizes pride and responsibility in the engineering profession. Senior engineering students take an “Obligation of the Engineer” oath together, and receive a ceremonial ring. The Pledge of the Computing Professional promotes and recognizes the ethical and moral behavior of graduates of computing-related degree programs as they transition to careers of service to society.
