Welcome to the Poly-World 2006 web site

Industrial mission - May, 2006

This web site presents the Poly-World 2006 industrial mission. All the information relative to the international mission is available. It is consisted of its goals, the planned industrial visits and the Poly-World 2006 team.

The Poly-World industrial mission went to Poland and Czech Republic in May 2006 and encouraged engineering students to:

• Examine and target the technologies common to Canada and the visited country;
• Observe how the technologies are integrated through the different modes of production, management of human resources and the protection of the environment;
• Compare the performances and the resources of the Canadian industry to the foreign industry and compare the strengths and weaknesses of the enterprises in the various sectors;
• Discover state-of-the-art technologies existing abroad that could be applied to the Canadian industries and thus foresee some business and technological transfer opportunities;
• Develop interdisciplinary skills such as entrepreneurship, leadership, critical thinking, organisation and observation skills;
• Broaden their horizons to new and diverse cultures.

This mission is part of the Poly-World project, which organizes industrial missions to various countries each year.
