Polytechnique Montréal

It takes effort to build a reputation as an international engineering school and be an active partner in technological, economic and social development. Polytechnique's staff members have made the institution what it is today through their ideas, vision, energy and common objective—that of making Polytechnique a success, always aiming higher. The administration, professors, lecturers and managerial and support staff have combined their efforts and contributed in their own way to Polytechnique's intellectual reputation and influence in society. Our mission is also supported by the major contributions of the School's Foundation and its alumni, helping Polytechnique continue to be a leader in its field. Since its founding, Polytechnique has had one enduring priority—its students!
