Ingénieuses de l'ÉTS

What Ingénieuses de l'ÉTS does

Les Ingénieuses de l'ÉTS is a student volunteer organization (regroupement étudiant) founded on November 2, 2009, and hosted at the École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) in Montreal, Quebec. Its stated mission is to foster the integration of women in engineering through social activities, networking events, mentorship, and youth outreach that promotes science and applied-science careers to young girls. The organization runs four core programs: a Mentorat/Marrainage (mentorship) program pairing students with experienced engineers, recurring networking events for engineering students across all specialties, science outreach activities for prospective female students, and a Blog content platform hosted at ingenieuses.ca/blog.

The group is operated by approximately 30 unpaid volunteers — roughly 20 executive committee members and 10 ambassadors — and has no proprietary technology, no commercial product, and no paying customers. Its marketing footprint consists of an Instagram account, segmented email aliases (info, partenariat, marketing, evenements, membres, mentorat), and in-person events. It maintains institutional partnerships with ÉTS (the "Objectif féminin pluriel" initiative), the Ordre des Ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ), and Ingénieurs Canada as part of the cross-sector "Objectif 30 en 30" commitment to reach at least 30% women in engineering by 2030.

There is no revenue model, no pricing structure, and no disclosed funding; operations are sustained through institutional and professional partnerships plus volunteer labor. The organization does not have leadership disclosures beyond its volunteer executive committee, has not raised outside capital, and is not registered as a commercial entity. Its address — 1219 Rue William, Montréal, QC, H3C 1R1, local D-2013 — corresponds to its campus office at ÉTS.

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE): U.S.-based student and professional organization supporting Black engineers; comparable in operating model (chapters at universities, mentorship, outreach) though focused on a different underrepresented group.
• EngiQueers Canada: Canadian network of LGBTQ+ engineering student groups across multiple universities; comparable as a campus-anchored equity-focused engineering community but broader in identity scope and multi-campus in reach.

Others

• Ordre des Ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ): Quebec's professional engineering regulator and a co-partner on 'Objectif 30 en 30'; comparable as a stakeholder in the women-in-engineering ecosystem rather than a direct competitor.

Direct peers

• Society of Women Engineers (SWE): U.S.-based professional organization that supports women in engineering and STEM through mentorship, networking, and outreach — the closest structural analog and benchmark for the size and ambition of Ingénieuses de l'ÉTS.
• Polytechnique Montréal — Femmes en génie: Initiatives at Montreal's other major engineering school (Polytechnique) supporting women in engineering; a direct local peer competing for the same student demographic and sponsor attention in the Montreal market.
• Women in Engineering (WIE) — University of Toronto: University-level women-in-engineering group at Canada's largest engineering school, running similar mentorship and outreach programming; the most direct Canadian peer operating on a comparable campus-anchored model.
• McGill Women in Engineering (WIE): Student-run organization at McGill University's Faculty of Engineering, focused on supporting and promoting women in engineering through mentorship, outreach, and community events — directly comparable in mission and structure.
