Who are we?
The “Ingénieuses de l’ÉTS” is a student group from École de technologie supérieure. Our goal is to promote and set up a network of exchanges and contacts between future engineers of all specialties through social activities. By extension, our club ensures to support and motivate students in their academic and future career in the field of engineering. It is the group’s ambition to nurture young girls’ interest in science and careers in applied sciences.
"Objectif Féminin pluriel"
Les Ingénieuses also support ÉTS in the Objectif feminine pluriel, a real rallying cry, an invitation to action that calls for an increase in the presence of women at all levels at ÉTS. The term Objective was chosen because it evokes the idea of a finality, of a specific goal to be achieved while being inclusive: it is a common goal towards which everyone flocks. To achieve this objective, several activities were carried out to better understand the concerns of women currently at ETS as well as the place of women in engineering, such as conferences, public consultations, discussion groups, etc.
30 by 30 Goal
ÉTS and the “Ordre des Ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ)” have rallied with Engineers Canada to see at least 30% women in the field by 2030.

FAQ
How many Ingénieuses are there in the club?
Our organization is made up of about thirty members, including around twenty executive committee members and ten ambassadors who support us in a variety of initiatives and tasks. The distinction between these roles mainly reflects the level of involvement each member chooses to contribute.
What does the club do?
We mainly organize activities for engineering students with the intent to raise awareness, offer training, favor exchange and networking. We also volunteer or participate in different external events that promote science and engineering to young women.
How can I promote my event or my article on your page?
Simply send an email to marketing@ingenieuses.ca wih the following information : location, date, cost, link to the event (Facebook, Eventbrite, etc) and a short description. If it is aligned with our mission, we will let you know that it has been added to our social media content calendar in order to share it with our community.
How can we set up a partnership?
As a student association, partnerships are necessary to the realization of our projects. If you are interested in working with us, send us an email at partenariat@ingenieuses.ca and we will review potential partnership whether it is an event, a sponsorship, an industrial visit, etc.
How can I become part of the club?
If you would like to join the organization, please send an email to info@ingenieuses.ca specifying your program of study and your interests. We would be happy to get back to you should a position within the organization become available. The recruitment period for both the executive committee and ambassador roles generally takes place at the beginning of the summer semester. In the meantime, you can join our Instagram community to stay informed about upcoming events.
Is the club restricted to only female members?
No! We welcome each and everyone who wishes to contribute to our cause.
What does your logo represent?
The color red was chosen because it is the primary color of École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS). The butterfly was selected for its symbolism. Indeed, this insect fascinates the scientific community through its evolution and metamorphosis. Our organization’s mission is to encourage transformation within society by inspiring more women to join a field that has traditionally been male-dominated. Finally, the lines featured in the logo are reminiscent of engineering drawings.
