º£½Ç¾«Æ·ºÚÁÏ Welcomes First Cohort of Global Engineering Program

A landmark moment in º£½Ç¾«Æ·ºÚÁÏ’s global ambitions, this joint program with °ä±ð²Ô³Ù°ù²¹±ô±ð³§³Ü±èé±ô±ð³¦ redefines how engineers are trained for a rapidly changing world.

This fall marks an exciting moment for º£½Ç¾«Æ·ºÚÁÏ and its Faculty of Engineering: the arrival in Montréal of the first cohort of the Global Engineering Program, a pioneering partnership with France’s . The Class of 2027 is embarking on the final two years of a unique degree that blends the best of French and North American engineering education — a bold vision for training engineers equipped to address the challenges of tomorrow.

Students who began their studies at °ä±ð²Ô³Ù°ù²¹±ô±ð³§³Ü±èé±ô±ð³¦ now join º£½Ç¾«Æ·ºÚÁÏ’s vibrant downtown campus to specialize in one of nine streams of engineering. Over the next two years, they will immerse themselves in advanced coursework, benefit from hands-on labs and projects, and take part in internships that bridge academic learning with real-world enterprise challenges. More than a transition in location, this is a transformative journey — academically, culturally, and personally.

The arrival of these students stands as a landmark in º£½Ç¾«Æ·ºÚÁÏ’s international ambitions for joint programs and transnational education. It reflects the University’s commitment to fostering meaningful, high-impact partnerships worldwide. The collaboration with °ä±ð²Ô³Ù°ù²¹±ô±ð³§³Ü±èé±ô±ð³¦, ranked among France’s top engineering schools, is a prime example of such engagement, bringing together complementary strengths and shared values in innovation, excellence, and global outlook.

The launch of the Global Engineering Program is the result of visionary leadership. It reflects the dedication and foresight of its founders, Prof. Laurent Mydlarski, co-director at º£½Ç¾«Æ·ºÚÁÏ, and Prof. Franck Richecoeur, co-director at °ä±ð²Ô³Ù°ù²¹±ô±ð³§³Ü±èé±ô±ð³¦, who together shaped a bold and innovative model for engineering education. In Montréal, Prof. Mydlarski is joined by Nidal Ibourk, MA, and Kevin Broucke, whose efforts ensure the smooth transition of the first cohort.

This milestone celebrates more than a student arrival: it reflects the transformative potential of collaboration in transnational education and the longstanding tradition of Franco-Canadian cooperation in higher education. The Global Engineering Program stands as a living example of what can be achieved when institutions unite around a shared vision for innovation, excellence, and global engagement.

As the Class of 2027 embarks on their journey in Montréal, they carry º£½Ç¾«Æ·ºÚÁÏ not only their academic ambitions but also the legacy of collaboration that brought this program to life.
