Skule

Skule is a term trademarked by the University of Toronto Engineering Society, Canada's first student engineering society. Skule is supposedly the "metric" spelling of "school". Skule became used at the Society since the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering was initially called the School of Practical Science (SPS), and students preferred the abbreviation 'skule'.
