Enginews was a newsletter published by the Engineering Society consisting of campus news and events. For a time it was published as part of The Coryphaeus but split back out as standalone publication in 1967 in response to complaints that the dual publication was failing to properly serve intended audiences.

Criticized by campus administration and women's groups for the inclusion of sexist and racist content, the publication was banned on campus in 1983 but continued being published under the direction of Engineering Society Denis Van Dekker until 1985 using funds solicited from readers, at which time the disbandment of the society was threatened prompting the end of any clandestine publishing.
