Discover the activities organized by the Chemical Engineering Department.
Each year, the Chemical Engineering Student Committee organizes the Chemical Engineering Week, an opportunity for students to participate in a series of activities in order to learn about the various chemical engineering professions, network with industry members and socialize with their peers and the department’s faculty.The 2026 Chemical Engineering Week will be held from February 2nd to 6.
The schedule will be available in December 2025.
Chemical Engineering Networking Day
During Chemical Engineering Week, the student committee, in collaboration with the department, organizes a networking evening to give chemical engineering students seeking internships or jobs the opportunity to meet industry professionals and build professional connections. The networking evening will take place on February 5, 2026.
Organizations interested in participating in this event—which will bring together around a hundred chemical engineering students and soon-to-be graduates—are invited to contact the Department of Chemical Engineering at gch-comiteviedept@polymtl.ca or the student committee at cegch-partenariat@aep.polymtl.ca. You can also follow our LinkedIn page to stay informed about the official invitation.
The Chemical Engineering Research Day is an annual event that brings together graduate students and professors in chemical engineering from Polytechnique Montréal, McGill University, and Concordia University. The goal of this event is to provide graduate students from the participating universities with an opportunity to present their research projects—either as posters or oral presentations—to their inter-university peers and to network. Presentations are evaluated, and prizes are awarded to the best ones.
The Chemical Engineering Research Days will return in the Winter 2026 semester.
During the academic year, members of the Chemical Engineering Department and students gather to participate in various social activities.
La Liaison chimique is an opportunity for chemical engineering graduates and students to come together and network in an informal setting.
The next edition of La Liaison chimique will take place on November 13, 2025.
The event will be announced in due time on our social media platforms: Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
We look forward to seeing you again soon!
In April, the Department of Chemical Engineering celebrates students who are completing their bachelor's degree.
The next celebration will take place in April 2026.
Students and members of the Department of Chemical Engineering share their passion for engineering and science with the public. For example, the department participates each year in the Eurêka! Festival, the largest science festival in Québec. We offer slime-making and spherification activities throughout the weekend.In addition, in 2022, we took part in the Guinness World Record for the largest slime lesson, in collaboration with the Montréal Science Centre and science communicator Yannick Bergeron.
The Vigilance and Wellness Committee (CVBE) aims to support members of the chemical engineering community who are facing challenges and to guide them toward appropriate resources. In a spirit of prevention, the committee also provides information to promote well-being within the community.
The CVBE acts as a point of contact and a watchful presence for individuals going through difficult times. The committee also seeks to organize activities that foster wellness within the chemical engineering community.
Each semester, the committee hosts a variety of activities to promote well-being and mental health, such as: pet therapy sessions, wellness challenges, massage therapy, coffee breaks, mental health talks, and more.
