Alérion Supermileage, a team of 40 university students, designs energy-efficient vehicles to promote environmentally friendly technologies. This season, the team stands out with a hydrogen fuel cell prototype for competitions and an improved “Urban Concept” vehicle. The team participates in a number of events, including the Shell Eco-Marathon Americas, where it came third with 317 km/kWh, and the Défi 24h, where its prototype covered 308 km.

Bottom trawling, using a heavy net dragged along the seabed, damages habitats and releases stored carbon. Aquarius is aiming for sustainable fishing by developing a hydroplane system that automatically adjusts the depth of the nets, reducing contact with the seabed. This device protects ecosystems, reduces bycatch and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to the environmental benefits, it allows the trawler to consume less fuel, offering viable commercial potential.

McGill Engineers in Action combats rural isolation in developing countries, which is a source of poverty. By building safe bridges, we improve access to basic services and economic opportunities while reducing the risk of dangerous crossings. Since 2018, our McGill chapter, the first in Quebec, has completed six projects, including five in Eswatini and one in Bolivia.

Born out of a technology entrepreneurship course, our project uses student resources to tackle a major technical challenge. Our goal is to create a sustainable solution, introducing an innovative device that facilitates the transition between hospital and home. We are developing a device that is expected to be certified by Health Canada and the FDA. Combining technical expertise and entrepreneurial spirit, we aim to improve care while reducing the burden on the healthcare system.
