École de technologie supérieure (French pronunciation:[ekɔldətɛknɔlɔʒisypeʁjœʁ],Higher Technology School,ÉTS), founded in 1974, is apublicresearch university inMontreal, Quebec,Canada and affiliated to theUniversité du Québec system. The school specializes in applied teaching and research inengineering as well astransferring advanced technologies to companies.
In any given year, 25% of all engineers receiving a diploma from an engineering school or faculty in the province of Quebec graduate from the ÉTS. The school ranks second in Canada for the number of bachelor's degrees in engineering awarded at the undergraduate level.[1]

ÉTS opened in 1974 on Rue Sainte-Catherine, in Montreal, and received 28 undergraduate students in technology (mechanics and electricity). The ÉTS Student Association (AEETS) was created the following year. In 1977, the diploma (B. Tech.) was awarded to the first 14 graduates. Bachelor's degrees in construction technology and automated production were added later on.
The first student club (Mini-Baja ÉTS) was created in 1989. The same year, ÉTS opened its first bachelor's degrees in engineering: construction engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and automated production engineering. In 1990, they were accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (BCAPI). In 1991, the master's program (systems technology) was offered. The Center for Technological Entrepreneurship (Centech) was created in 1994. The same year, the students created the Student Grouping Program for International Cooperation (PRÉCI).
In 1998, ÉTS inaugurated the first student residences and several phases were added over the decades. The first doctoral degrees in engineering were awarded in 2000. The first research chair was created in 2001 (in wireless telecommunications). The same year, the Sports Center created the Les Piranhas club. In 2004, the Department of Software Engineering and Information Technology Engineering was opened and a new pavilion was inaugurated (Pavilion B). In 2007, a major expansion of the main pavilion was completed. In 2008, ÉTS adopted a sustainable development policy. Many study programs are added over the years, as well as student clubs.
In 2015, the campus expanded further with the opening of the Student House (Pavilion E). In 2018, the former Dow Planetarium was renovated, and the technology business accelerator Centech moved there. ÉTS adopts an urban development plan for the campus in order to integrate it harmoniously into the neighborhood.[non sequitur] The Formula ÉTS student club is moving from the combustion engine to the electric motor starting in 2019. In 2020 a new pavilion was opened (Pavilion D). In 2021, ÉTS achievedcarbon neutrality.

INGO, located at 355 Peel Street, contains FDÉTS (ÉTS Development Fund).
Located on 301-311 Peel Street and 1045-1055 Ottawa Street, phases 1 and 2 are the first two student residences built for ETS students. Phase 3 of the residences is located at 425 de la Montagne Street, and phase 4 is located at 355 de la Montagne Street. The Bureau du respect de la personne (Human Rights Office) of ETS is located in phase 4 of residences.
The school featurescooperative education in all of its undergraduate programs. The bachelor's programs have all been accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). Each year, ETS graduates the largest number of engineers in Quebec and ranks second in Canada. Students can specialize in the following disciplines:Construction Engineering,Electrical Engineering,Computer Engineering,Software Engineering,Mechanical Engineering,Production Engineering,Industrial Engineering[3]The university also offers multiple research programs leading toMaster's degree orDoctor of Philosophy. International graduate students come from all five continents, including, notably, France, Brazil, Mexico, India, and Iran. The main research fields are energy, environment, manufacturing, health technologies, enterprise systems, IT, microelectronics and telecommunications, aerospace manufacturing and avionics, project management, and innovation management.[4]

The ETS student-run technical clubs participate in international competitions. The world's fastest human-powered submarine,Omer, was developed by one such club.[5] Anautonomous underwater vehicle named S.O.N.I.A., anunmanned aerial vehicle Dronolab, a walking robot, Eclipse solar-powered car, Chinook the world champion wind-powered vehicle, and others have won prizes in international competitions. The school also houses a concrete canoe club.
The school is represented inCanadian Interuniversity Sport by theETS Piranhas.
