'''''Engineering Games''''' (also known as '''Eng Games''', french or '''Jeux de GenieGénie''', JDGin french) is a province-wide engineering competition around which a community of engineering undergraduate students from Quebec universities and technological institutes11 different schools is built. The community participates in many social events year-round, and is driven by a 5 day competition, known as '''The Games''', themselves takes place during the first week of January. Schools take turns hosting The Games each every year, but the participants keep in touch and participate in many social events together year-round.<br><br>

[[ImageFile:enggames_machineEng Games machine 2019.jpg|250px|left|thumb|375x375px]]Eng Games has various competitions that aim to showcase the many skills that are required to become a good engineer. These competitions include machine (robotics), academics, consulting, entrepreneurship, debates, improvisation, trivia, and sports. 

By far Known as the most prestigious event of the engineering games and the only competition to be broadcast, the “machine” is an intense robotics competition involving the various disciplines and aspects of engineering. During the four months proceeding the Games, each university forms a team of 6-8 a few members tasked with building a small robot that will perform specific tasks outlined by the design problem drafted by the Games’ organizers. The presentation takes place in front of the public and is broadcasted online.

These There are 6 different academic competitions are designed to test the depth of knowledge and creativity of its participants through the assignment of a written format examination and a small design challenge. The participants have three hours to complete both segments. There is a separate test for each of the following programsthat take place at Eng Games: chemical, electrical, civil, mechanical, software, and industrial engineering. Each of those disciplines have 2 components, practical and theoretical. Each of them take the form of 3 hour open book exams, labs or small design competitions taken in teams of 3 or 4.

Teams of In the consulting competition, 4 students work to conceptualize and present their optimal solutions to a large-scale engineering problem. Social, economic, environmental, and political aspects of the solution have to be considered when presenting to the judges, who represent potentialclients. The quality of the solution, the written report, as well as the solution presentation are all graded in the determination of to determine the best team.

During this event, teams a team of two students will put their public speaking skills and sharp minds to the test by partaking in a classical debate on a technical topic of choice, 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.

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 en herbe match. There are different rounds of questions and the team who wins a match advances to the next round in the hopes of winning the tournament 

This competition gives the participants the a chance to demonstrate their physical aptitude in a range of sporting matches. The delegations go head-to head in an environment where team spirit is of the utmost importance. Due to the nature of the sporting challenges, the events are not only geared towards the physical ability of teams’ individuals, but also towards testing the cohesion of the their teamwork.==ParticipateParticipants=====EngGames Eng Games Committee===

At McGill, the Eng Games executive committee is generally composed of the following:* One or two chiefs* One VP Social* One VP Mac Campus* One VP Competition* One VP Finance* One VP Sponsorship* One VP Gear* One or two VP Machine* Two parrains (ambassadors from other schools)The chief and execs or co-chiefs are chosen chose by the previous a selection committee, just following The Games in January. The fall semester leading up to rest of the executive team are then chosen by the chief or co-chief in the following weeks. The Games is known as ''The Race'', where executive members can be general members of the [[EUS]] or of BESS (bioresource engineering students interested in Eng Games attend events organized by each school to demonstrate their interest and spirit).<br>Since Jeux de Genie Génie is an event that is part of overseen by [[QCESO]], the EngGames Eng Games committee falls under the [[VP External]]'s portfolio.

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. <br> <center>[[Image:Enggames_delegation.jpg|frameless|600px|Incredible spirit.
