The Quebec Engineering Games are the largest engineering competition in the province and the biggest student gathering for engineering students. Participants will have the opportunity to put their academic, technical, athletic, and social skills to the test during this event. Delegations must demonstrate teamwork and personal growth to overcome the challenges presented throughout the competition.
Machine Competition
Durée de 4 mois
The machine competition is one of the most challenging events of the Engineering Games.
The aim is to design a multi-disciplinary robotic solution capable of overcoming various challenges on a predefined course, while respecting a precise grading rubric. During the four months leading up to the event, teams must invest time, ingenuity and creativity to meet the judges' expectations.
Entrepreneurship Competition
Durée de 4 mois
The entrepreneurship competition allows engineering students to step outside their technological framework and immerse themselves in the world of business.
Faced with a defined challenge, they must design and produce a prototype, while drafting a solid business plan justifying the product choice, its viability, and its path to market as an emerging company. In addition, a sales pitch is prepared and presented to a panel of judges to demonstrate the effectiveness and relevance of the proposed solution. By broadening their horizons, participants are encouraged to combine technical innovation with entrepreneurial skills, preparing them for diverse and multidisciplinary careers.
MAJOR COMPETITIONS
The Capital
Durée de 6 heures
Concrete design of an innovative and multidisciplinary solution to a civil engineering problem.
The Major
Durée de 6 heures
A sister competition to The Capital, design an innovative robotic solution addressing a mechatronics-related challenge.
Consulting Engineering
Durée de 4 heures puis 15 minutes de présentation
As a team, work out a technical recommendation pertaining to an issue relevant to current events and present it to a panel of judges.
ACADEMIC COMPETITIONS
The academic challenges cover the six most-taught engineering disciplines in Québec: civil, chemical, computer, mechanical, industrial, and electrical engineering.
These competitions take place over a morning during which teams must complete a theoretical questionnaire and a practical task, which may involve assembly, a lab experiment, or a case study tied to a specific engineering field.
Thus, the delegations face a challenge that covers all the subjects addressed during their university education, providing a test worthy of the next generation of engineers!
CULTURAL COMPETITIONS
To test other essential skills for tomorrow’s engineers, cultural competitions are also on the agenda: improvisation, debates, and trivia.
These events allow delegations to showcase participants’ hidden talents. Whether using quick wit and creativity in a colourful improv night, eloquence in debates, or broad general knowledge during trivia, participants will need to bring their best to triumph in these cultural challenges.
SPORTS COMPETITION
Health starts with balance and an active lifestyle! Therefore, a day is dedicated to athletic events. This is an opportunity for the delegations to stand out in a field other than engineering and showcase their versatility. Each participant must join one of the following sports teams: indoor sports, outdoor sports, pool sports, e-sports, or surprise sports.
It’s the perfect time to highlight teamwork and collective effort, two core values of the competition.
