University Engagement: IBS Ingénierie Supports the Next Generation in Civil Engineering

IBS Ingénierie was privileged to be involved in the CIV1910 course at Polytechnique Montréal. An integrative first-year civil engineering project that immerses students in real-life challenges:
- design a solution under real-world constraints,
- optimize their choices,
- defend their approach in front of an audience of more than 600 visitors.
As guest of honor, “ coup de cœur ” judge, and sponsor, Issam Bekkali, P.Eng., was able to witness firsthand the exceptional quality of work produced by the 17 participating teams.
Beyond the calculations, these are engineers in the making who learn to innovate, communicate and defend a technical idea. Skills at the heart of professional practice.
This course, taught with rigor and passion by Professor Sanda Koboevic, illustrates the most inspiring aspect of engineering: the transfer of know-how between generations. This bond is all the stronger for the fact that Issam Bekkali himself took the course some twenty years ago.
At IBS Ingénierie, bridging the gap between academia and professional practice and supporting the next generation of engineers are part of our commitments.
Very proud to contribute to the training of tomorrow’s builders.
