logo =Created in 1974, École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS, "School of Higher Technology") is an engineering university member of Université du Québec network. Located in Montreal, the ÉTS is unique in that it was intended specifically for students that have graduated from college technical programs (CEGEP). That is, students who originally wished to pursue a skill trade, but for whatever reason have decided to go to university.

Facilities and Features

The ÉTS is currently located at 1100 Notre-Dame Street in Montreal, the site of a former O'Keefe Brewery, which was transformed to house the school. It has two buildings devoted to education programs and research activities.

Programs

The school features cooperative education in all of its undergraduate programs. The bachelor's programs have all been accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). Each year, the ÉTS graduates the largest number of engineers in Quebec.Students can choose to specialize in the following disciplines:
construction engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering [ [http://www.cemf.ca/Engineering/UniversityList.htm Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation - University List ] ] It also offers multiple master's degree programs and a doctorate in engineering. International students at the masters and doctorate levels are mostly coming from Latino America, Europe, North Africa and Eastern Europe. The main research fields are energy, environment, manufacturing and fabrication, health technologies, entreprises systems, IT, micro-electronics and telecommunications and finally, aerospace manufacturing and avionics.

Research

The ÉTS student-run technical clubs participate in international competitions. The world's fastest human powered submarine, Omer [http://omer.etsmtl.ca] , was developed by one such club. An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle named S.O.N.I.A. [http://sonia.etsmtl.ca] , a walking robot [http://wm.etsmtl.ca/] , Eclipse [http://eclipse.etsmtl.ca/] the solar powered car and many others have won countless prizes in international competitions over the years.

ports

The school is represented in Canadian Interuniversity Sport by the ETS Piranhas.

The school's student union (student government) is called the "Association des étudiants de l'école de technologie supérieure" (AÉÉTS) (The ETS Student Association).
