'''''Engineering Games''''' (Eng Games, french Jeux de Genie, JDG) is a community of engineering undergraduate students from Quebec universities and technological institutes. The community participates in many social events year-round, and is driven by a 5 day competition, known as '''The Games''', during the first week of January. Schools take turns hosting The Games each year, and each participating school sends a delegation of 44 students, plus 2 graduated ambassadors from other schools, known as godparents (parrains). Each delegation is made up of one chief, the executive committee, machine team members, and general members selected by the execs.
