''The '''Engineering Games''''' (also known as '''Eng Games''', or '''Jeux de Génie''', JDG in french) is a province-wide engineering competition around which that unites a dynamic community of engineering undergraduate students from 11 14 different schools is built. The Games themselves takes place during serve as a platform for students to showcase their skills and knowledge in a variety of disciplines, along with the opportunity to network with numerous companies. The competition occurs annually in the first week of January every , with participants residing in a hotel together throughout the 4 days of the event. The community extends far beyond the competition itself, as students stay connected throughout the yearwith social events, and other activities that foster friendships and camaraderie. ==Participants=====Delegation===[[File:McGillEngGames2023.jpg||right|thumb|McGill delegation at Eng Games 2023|400px]]Each participating school sends a delegation of 44 students, plus 2 graduated ambassadors from other schools, known as godparents (parrains/marraines). Each delegation is made up of one (or two) chief(s), the executive committee, the godparents, and general members selected by the execs.[[Category:VP External Groups]][[Category:Competitions]] === Selection Process ===The selection process for the Games is known as ''The Race'' (also referred to as ''La Course''). It consists of a series of events organized by various schools, including parties, trivia or improv practices, but sports days, and more. These events offer chances for individuals interested in participating in the Games to connect with participants keep in touch from other schools and get engaged. To join The Race, students need to purchase a race shirt and participate in many social fill out an interest form. Another way to join the delegation is by contributing to the preparation of the Machine or Entrepreneurship competitions. Stay informed about events together yearand engagement opportunities by joining the Facebook group linked [https://www.facebook.com/groups/448308848541809/ here]. ===Executive Committee=== At McGill, the Eng Games executive committee is generally composed of the following:* 1-2 chief(s)* VP Social* VP Internal* VP Competitions* VP Finance* VP Sponsorship* VP Gear* VP Entrepreneurship* 2 VP Machine* Two godparents (ambassadors from other schools) The chief or co-chiefs are chosen by a selection committee during the winter semester. The rest of the executive team are selected by the chief or co-roundchiefs in the following weeks. The executive members can be general members of the [[EUS]] or of BESS (bioresource engineering students).<br> Since Jeux de Génie is an event that is overseen by [[QCESO]], the Eng Games committee falls under the [[VP External]]'s portfolio.

[[File:Eng Games machine 2019.jpg|left|thumb|Machine Competition|375x375px]]The Eng Games has various organizes a diverse range of competitions that aim , each designed to showcase highlight the many multitude of skills that are required necessary for one to become a good excel as an engineer. These competitions include machine (encompass a wide array of disciplines such as robotics), academics, consulting, entrepreneurship, debates, improvisation, trivia, and sports.

Known Recognized as the most prestigious pinnacle event of the engineering gamesGames, the “machine” ''La Machine'' is an intense a highly esteemed robotics competition involving various that encompasses a wide range of engineering disciplines and aspects of engineeringfacets. During In the four months proceeding leading up to the Games, each university forms assembles a small team of a few members tasked entrusted with building designing a small robot that will perform robotic solution capable of executing specific tasks outlined by in the design problem drafted formulated by the Games’ organizers. The presentation takes place in front teams present their creations to a live audience on the last day of the public Games and the event is broadcasted broadcast online.===Entrepeneurship Competition===The entrepreneurship competition consists of 3 parts: developing a prototype for a new product that addresses a predefined problem, creating a business plan to justify the product's selection, viability, and implementation as an emerging company, and preparing a brief sales pitch to convince judges that it is the best solution for the problem. This challenge requires a lot of prior work, as participants must have completed the prototype and business plan before their arrival at the Games.

There are 6 different Eng Games hosts six distinct academic competitions that take place at Eng Games: chemical, electrical, civil, mechanical, software, and industrial engineering. Each of those disciplines have 2 discipline is divided into two components, : practical and theoretical. Each of them take the form of 3 hour The practical component is assessed through a three-hours open book examsexam, labs while the practical side consists of a lab or a small design competitions taken competition. Each challenge is undertaken in teams of 3 three or four participants. [[File:Improv2023.jpg|right|thumb|Improv competition|400px]]===Majeure and Capitale Competitions===The ''Majeure'' and ''Capitale'' competitions are intensive design challenges lasting for a duration of 4to 6 hours, requiring a team of six participants. In the ''Majeure'' competition, teams are assigned the objective of constructing a small robotic device using a restricted set of materials, while also addressing specific challenges. As for the ''Capitale'' competition, it made its debut at the 2023 Games and focuses on civil engineering. In both competitions, teams are required to present their solutions before a panel of judges.  

In the consulting competition, 4 a team of four students work collaborates to conceptualize conceive and present deliver their optimal most effective solutions to for a large-scale significant engineering problem. Social, economic, environmental, and political aspects of the solution have to must be considered when presenting to the judges, who represent potentialclients. The quality of the solution, the written report, as well as the presentation are all graded to determine the best team.[[File:Sports2023.jpg|left|thumb|McGill delegates during sports day|400px]]===DebatesCultural Competitions===During this eventThe Games host 3 types of cultural competitions: debates, improvisation, and trivia. In debates, a team of two students put their public speaking skills and sharp minds to the test by partaking in a classical debate on a topic chosen by the organizers. The teams are judged based on the relevance of their arguments, and the fluidity of their speech. Professionalism, critical thinking, and clashes of opinion are all in attendance.===Improvisation===[[Image:enggames_improv.jpg|300px|right|thumb|More photos can be found [http://voltaicphoto.com/galeries/jeux-de-genie-2016-jour-3-partie-22-improvisation-2/ here]]]During the improvisation improv competition, a team of 4 participants demonstrate their imagination, creativity, and quick thinking in head-to head matches against opponents, constantly seeking to one up contestants with wit and shock. They have approximately one minute to offer a quality performance to the public, while respecting the imposed rules and official professional regulations. The engineer with a strong sense of creativity for difficult solutions is a favorable asset in this competition. === Trivia ===During the trivia competition, teams of 4 students are tested for their general knowledge in a classic génie “génie en herbe herbe” match. There are different rounds of questions and the team who wins a match advances advance to the next round in the hopes of winning the tournament.

This competition gives participants a chance During the sports day, every participant is required to demonstrate their physical aptitude in a range of sporting matches.

Due to the nature of the The sporting challenges, the events are not only geared towards the test individual physical ability of teams’ individuals, abilities but also towards testing assess the cohesion of the their and teamworkamong team members. In addition to a mystery sport and an outdoor sport, an e-sport competition also takes place.==Participants=====Eng Games Committee===<br>

==Traditions =Delegation===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. [[Category:VP External Groups]][[Category:Competitions]]

=== Selection Process Jean Jacket===The selection process for the [[File:Eng Games is called ''The Race'' (also known 2019 Academic Competition.jpg|thumb|Delegates wearing their jean jackets, as ''La Course'')they should. It constitutes in ]]At Eng Games, every school has a list of events specific item, often called delegation item, that the executive committee attend participants are required to wear at all times and expect people who want to do at all events. McGill's item is a sleeveless jean jacket with the McGill Eng Games logo on the back. Participants can then add all sorts of patches and pins to go it tomake it their own. The events vary between partiesJean jackets are the only delegation item that isn't identical for every delegate. In fact, improvisation the jackets are usually bought at thrift stores or trivia practicesbrought by a delegate, sports days, etc. To participate which causes the jackets to vary in the racecolor, students must buy a race shirt size and fill out an interest form. Another way of getting selected to be a part of the delegation is by getting involved in the preparation of the machine or entrepreneurship competitiondesign.

== Traditions =Grape Day===Each school that participates in Eng Games also has a delegation drink for which the recipe is kept only by the executive committee. McGill's drink is called Grape Day and can typically be found at the Eng Games Blues Pub, and at other events organized by Eng Games throughout the year. Like every delegation drink, it is mixed in an 18L water barrel and usually passed around the room by someone who is considered in charge of the Grape Day. Furthermore, when students are given their jean jacket at the delegation inauguration, they are invited to drink some Grape Day as a symbol of their entrance into the MGCIL family.

=== '''Jean Jacket''' Quidditch event===[[File:Eng Games 2019 Academic Competition.jpg|thumb|Delegates wearing their jean jacketsDuring The Race, as they should.]]At Eng Games, every school has a specific item, often called ''the McGill delegation item'', that participants are required to wear at all times and at all events. Other school's items include organizes a kilt for ConcordiaQuidditch event, a bandana for Sherbrooke, a flag for Polytechnique.

=== '''Grape Day''' Wah and Wahwah===Each school that participates in Eng Games also has A couple of years ago, the McGill delegation introduced a ''delegation drink'' for which special rule where members are not allowed to say certain numbers. In fact, the recipe is kept only number that comes before 6 must be replaced by the chief(s) word “wah” and parrains. McGill's drink is called Grape Day and can typically the number that comes before 8 must be found at the Eng Games [[Blues Pub]] at the end of the summer, and at any other event organized replaced by Eng Games throughout the year“wahwah”. Like every delegation drinkIt may sound bizarre, but it is mixed in an 18L water barrel and usually passed around the room by someone who is considered in charge of the Grape Day. Furthermore, when students are given their jean jacket at the delegation inauguration, they are invited to drink some Grape Day as now a symbol of their entrance in the MGCIL familystaple among Eng Games people.
