Everyone has their own ideas when it comes to solving technical problems, preserving the environment or even saving the world. However, most of these ideas can be safely set aside--unless, of course, they're from the brilliant young minds competing in events like the Canadian Engineering Competition (CEC)! From March 9 to 12, the 22nd edition of this extraordinary gathering, the largest of its kind in the world, will bring together 150 of the best engineering students from 22 Canadian universities. Contestants will vie for glory at the Plaza Hotel Centre-Ville and at École Polytechnique de Montréal, which is hosting the event for the first time since 1999.

It's official: École Polytechnique de Montréal's new "green" buildings, the Claudette-MacKay-Lassonde and Pierre-Lassonde buildings, have received Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). This makes École Polytechnique the first university institution in Canada to obtain international LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification from the USGBC. The energy performance of the Lassonde buildings -- training grounds for tomorrow's engineers -- is 60% better than the standard set by the Model National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings. Scoring 46 on the LEED points scale, the highest score ever obtained in Canada, the Lassonde buildings, which officially opened last month, have raised the bar in sustainable construction practices and in so doing, have paved the way to other similar initiatives.
