ÉTS aims to provide high-quality education and research in engineering, focusing on practical applications and collaboration with industry partners to meet the evolving technological needs of society.
To be recognized as a leader in applied engineering education and research, fostering innovation and contributing to the advancement of technology and industry.
Providing a studying, working and living environment where every individual is free to develop their full potential and evolve in a climate of respect and open-mindedness. Contributing to the training of a new and diversified generation of engineers. Promoting innovation and creativity. That is the vision that guides the actions and initiatives implemented by ÉTS when it comes to equity, diversity and inclusion.
In today’s world, taking equity, diversity and inclusion into consideration in connection with every research project is a given, from the project concept stage to the composition of the academic team to the training of highly qualified professionals.
ÉTS is committed to providing a learning, working, and living environment where each person feels welcome, respected, and safe, and that meets the diverse needs of our community.
Within the context of the National Building Reconciliation Forum (2021), ÉTS took advantage of the opportunity to flesh out its commitment to increasing its contribution to reconciliation efforts and to take action aimed at promoting success among members of First Peoples within its academic community.
Since 2022, a committee made up of ÉTS faculty and staff has been leading workshop-discussions and developing tools to promote the inclusion of diversity in teaching practices. Workshop content and tools are made available to teaching staff in the resources offered by the Bureau de soutien à l’enseignement.

Before that, Kathy Baig held the positions of Vice-President, Positioning and Business Development and Principal Director, Transport Operations – Montréal Métropolitain for the consulting engineering firm Stantec. She has also held engineering and management positions with IBM Bromont, PyroGenesis Canada Inc., Aéroports de Montréal, and Johnson & Johnson, where she worked in research and development.
Deeply involved in her community, Ms. Baig has received a number of awards and distinctions and has served on numerous boards, including those of VIA Rail Canada, Fondaction, Nav Canada, the Institut sur la gouvernance d’organismes privés et publics and the Institut national d’optique.
Recognized as one of Canada’s most influential engineers, she received an honorary doctorate from ÉTS in 2021 in recognition of her exceptional leadership and commitment to promoting women in engineering. In 2023, Concordia University awarded her the same honour for her positive impact on the profession.
Her strategic approach, ability to inspire people, and her strong management experience are invaluable assets that will help build the profile, reach and growth of ÉTS.

He started his career as a Professor in 1990 in the Ophthalmology Department at Université de Sherbrooke, and five years later, he joined the École d’optométrie (school of optometry) at UdeM, where he was appointed to the position of Director in 2011. Christian was a driving force behind the first Doctoral program in Visual Sciences in Québec, and is a member of the Institut de génie biomédical (biomedical engineering institute) at UdeM and École Polytechnique. An ardent promoter of intersectoral and partnership-based research, his creation of virtual-reality training laboratories is seen as a significant contribution to the field of engineering.
The first student club (Mini-Baja ÉTS) was created in 1989. The same year, ÉTS opened its first bachelor's degrees in engineering: construction engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and automated production engineering. In 1990, they were accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board... read more
