Higher education is a competitive market. In this context, the idea is to attract as many students as possible in order to improve our pool of researchers, gain credibility and so on. As a result, we need to find ways of attracting young people to fields such as engineering. Needs are great in all spheres of engineering, and it's not surprising that engineering schools are trying to get a good core of quality students.
École Polytechnique de Montréal is no exception, and in 2024 decided to create a series of online conferences to give an overview of what the school has to offer future students.These are four live presentations, put together end-to-end, that tackle different topics.
Throughout the presentations, the speakers respond to questions posed in the chat room at the time of the broadcast, and video excerpts provide a glimpse of the campus, explain certain programs and more.
A somewhat static initiative, but one that has the advantage of answering the many questions that young people seeking guidance or foreign students looking to train at one of North America's most renowned engineering schools may have.

Artificial Intelligence, an ideological tool?
A.I., in its very conception, is based on a vision of the world that can be apprehended in place of ideology. So, to what extent does it carry an ideology?
Sometimes, sportsmen and women can completely lose their composure at the start of an event, when they've been putting in a string of good performances in training. These under-performances are often explained by "mental factors", but that's a bit short-sighted. Athletes and researchers have attempted to propose more refined and differentiated hypotheses. Useful analyses for anyone who needs to be at the forefront of an engaging or stressful action.
The octagonal recipe for gamification
Gamification is one of the trendy tools for engaging students or workers. While it sounds simple in theory, practice often reminds us that there are several keys to making a gamification approach work. A few years ago, a researcher came up with an octagon-shaped analysis grid. Use it without restraint.
