OBS

En 1990, un groupe d'étudiants de l'Université Laval décide, à l'instar de leurs confrères d'administration et de droit, d'organiser un événement qui rassemblerait des étudiants en génie de toute la province afin de donner la possibilité à ces derniers de s'affronter dans un cadre amical à travers des compétitions tant sportives, académiques [que] culturelles. Cette activité est chapeautée par la Confédération pour le Rayonnement des étudiants en Ingénierie du Québec (CRÉIQ), anciennement connue sous l'appellation Coalition des Facultés d'Ingénierie du Québec (COFIQ). Cette confédération regroupe toutes les associations étudiantes des diverses facultés d'ingénierie au Québec. Cette année, nous en sommes à la 17e édition, qui rassemblera dans la ville de Sherbrooke plus de 400 participants provenant des quatre coins de la province. Au fil du temps, les Jeux de Génie sont devenus un incontournable pour les étudiants en génie au Québec et gagnent chaque année en popularité et en notoriété.
