The McNaughton Center at Dalhousie first came into existence through a McNaughton Learning Resource Center Grant awarded by the IEEE Canadian Foundation (ICF) in 1989. For the first 8 years of its life, the McNaughton Center existed under the TUNS auspice. That changed in 1997, when Dalhousie bought TUNS, since then the McNaughton Center has been operated for (and by) the Electrical Engineering Students of Dalhousie University.

The Center plays a large role in the day to day lives of most students. We have tried to create a McNaughton Center environment that helps students deal with the academic and non-academic challenges presented by a post-secondary engineering program. Our extensive library of IEEE publications and supplemental textbooks, combined with the study sessions provided and the constant student body presence provide an excellent resource for students needing help with assignments and test preparation. To help with the grind of an overloaded semester we provide fresh brewedcoffee, a microwave and fridge for all students to use at their leisure. We also have started programs that, we believe, will help students at all levels become involved with the IEEE and succeed in their studies (programs such as a Book Exchange, Study Groups, and Lab Tutorials). There is more information about these programs below, under Programs.
