Hi! We're working on "EngSci Courses", codenamed Project Conga. In a sense, it's the spiritual successor to engsci.unavoidable.ca (which I'm sure you guys have used before).
Our first launch of Project Conga will be focused on providing a hassle-free, dead-easy note-sharing experience for all of us EngScis. We hope to get this up by Saturday. So we need your help!
If you're here, you've probably been "recruited" here through other means. So you know what to do next.
So have fun everyone!
