May 2013: The Spirit of WTF is no longer being updated regularly (we graduated). If you have a prank that you'd like to see posted, send photos & description to spiritofwtf@gmail.com

IRS 2013: What about Software? And those others? Where was Software Engineering? Or Chemical? Or Nano? Software: We are told that Software Engineering had planned a class-to-class campaign to announce that “Coding is Art” and therefore Software Engineering really ought to be a part of the Faculty of Arts. Unfortunately, the snow day put an end to that. Instead we were given this silly video. The others?: We never saw or heard anything of Nano Engineering or Chemical Engineering in the pranks department. Let us know if you know better.

IRS 2013: Computer Engineering Computer Engineering decided that Sticky Notes were their medium of choice and took to covering the office waiting area in between EIT and E3 with them.

They didn’t quite get away from the apparent theme this year, and made their own modest pile of balloons as well. They also took a page from Mechatronic Engineering’s newspaper and covered the windows of the EIT-E3 and DC overpasses to spell their program name.

IRS 2013: Electrical Engineering advertises a sale Covering the university admin’s latest cost overrun in shrink wrap (and sticking “For Sale” signs on it) was certainly the most political of the pranks this year. And finally:

IRS 2013: Mechanical Engineering Girls The 4 girls of Mechanical Engineering 2013 would like to remind you that they exist. See? (In CPH Foyer)

IRS 2013: Management Engineering helps you out We all know how tight budgets can be once tuition payments are due. Perhaps that’s why Management Engineering decided to set up this Thrift Shop in the CPH Foyer. Each of the items had a price tag, and there was a box on the table to accept payment. Actually we’re not that this is a prank at all and not just another get rich quick scheme. Well, not that rich as most items were marked less than $2. Hopefully this provided a nice windfall for a poor student needing a change of wardrobe.

IRS 2013: Civil Engineering The Civil Engineers were perhaps the most prolific pranksters this year. (though we’ll have to count once the dust settles)



Full of Hot Air The Civil Computer Lab (E2 2340) was made brighter when it was filled with hundreds of balloons.

Getting Thirsty



The Civil Engineers pulled a similar prank on their classroom of CPH 3607, replacing balloons with hundreds of cups of water.



Sweet Rewards

As a reward for following hints placed around, you were lead to the assignment dropbox on the the third floor of CPH. The Civil Engineers were kind enough to leave a bowl of Rockets candy for those who made it. Abstracting Art In the central column of RCH, the Civil Engineers produced what can only be described as abstract art. Made of a bunch of cardboard boxes suspended from the upper handrail, it has remained over the weekend as a (minor) spectacle for all to see.

Set in stone

This concrete slab was found in the CPH foyer. It solidifies the slogan of the Civil Engineering Undergraduates: “Civils always win!”





IRS 2013: Mechatronics The windows of E5 were covered with newspaper to spell “Mechantronics 2013”. Enough said.

IRS 2013: Environmental Engineering’s Crush? Arriving even later than the Geological Engineers, Environmental Engineering wasted no time in setting up a small shrine to one of their professors: Dr. Bryan Tolson. There was also another poster proclaiming “All Hail Tolson”.
