The Quebec Engineering Games is the largest engineering competition in the province, as well as the most important gathering of engineering students. Participants will have the opportunity to test their academic, technical, athletic, and social skills during this event. The delegations will need to demonstrate teamwork and surpass themselves to overcome the challenges presented during the competition.
Machine Competition
Durée de 4 mois
The machine competition is one of the most challenging events of the Engineering Games.
The goal is to design a robotic machine capable of tackle various tasks on a predefined course using a multidisciplinary approach, while adhering to specific criteria. During the four months leading up to the event, teams will need to invest time, ingenuity, and creativity to meet the judges' expectations.
Entrepreneurship Competition
Durée de 4 mois
The entrepreneurial competition challenges participants to apply related skills in an innovative environment.
This challenge involves designing and producing a prototype to address a predefined issue, drafting a business plan justifying the product’s choice, its feasibility, and its implementation from the perspective of an emerging company. It also entails preparing a brief sales pitch for the judges to convince them of the solution’s optimality for the problem.
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
Putting a multidisciplinary robotic solution to a complex problem to the test in front of a panel of judges.
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 encompass the six most commonly taught engineering disciplines in Quebec: civil, chemical, computer, mechanical, industrial, and electrical engineering.
These competitions take place during a morning session where teams must complete a theoretical questionnaire and undertake a practical challenge, which may involve an assembly, a laboratory experiment, or a case study related to a specific field of engineering.
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
Trivia
Challenges participants' general knowledge in a trivia tournament.
Improvisation
Challenges participants' first instincts in a theatrical improv tournament in front of an audience and judges from the sponsors.
Oratory debates
Challenges participants' oratory skills in an argumentative confrontation based on the rules of debate and rhetoric.
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.
