Polytechnique Montréal

Polytechnique Montréal (French pronunciation: [pɔlitɛknik mɔ̃ʁeal]; previously École polytechnique de Montréal; French pronunciation: [ekɔl pɔlitɛknik də mɔ̃ʁeal]) is a public research university affiliated with the Université de Montréal in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. In English it may be referred to as "Montreal Polytechnic", but is more often referred to by its French name. The school offers graduate and postgraduate training, and is very active in research. Following tradition, new Bachelors of Engineering (B.Eng) graduating from Polytechnique Montréal receive an Iron Ring, during the Canadian Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer ceremony.

Not to be confused with the École Polytechnique of Paris; or École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, a Swiss research university.
