All the more reason to celebrate
150 years! What a source of pride! As the first francophone engineering university in North America, Polytechnique Montréal has, since its creation, trained engineers of the highest level and developed cutting-edge research. As such, our university has contributed to the technological and scientific innovations that have changed the world and particularly shaped modern Québec.
This year, along with the entire Polytechnique Montréal community, we want to acknowledge these successes and put forward the passion for engineering. This passion is what will enable us to develop solutions for the considerable challenges of a changing society. Today, we have all the more reason to celebrate and to continue to imagine, to build, to connect… We are ready to design the world of tomorrow!
