Canada faces an unprecedented shortage of Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP) with advanced degrees. Worse, only 1 in 5 young Canadians opt for a career in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). This seriously threatens Canada's global competitiveness. Its leadership in research and innovation is eroding quickly. The World Economic Forum reports: in 2010 Canada dropped out of the top ten countries in the Global Competitiveness Index; in 2015, it had slipped down to the 15th position.This proposal, directed to the academic stream of the CREATE program, will counter this trend by offering a carefully designed Research Training Program (RTP) to be shared with all Canadian engineering schools. It is backed by U. Ottawa, U. Laval, and U. Montreal and supported by private sector stakeholders. Its added value will increase the number of engineers (from BS to PhD) opting for a career in Simulation Based Engineering Science (SBES). Trainees will become leaders in industrial sectors fueling Canada's economic growth. Our RTP is aligned with the goals of the CREATE program: it offers the means to foster creativity and innovation and a breadth of education and skills. Our team has assembles experts from all key fields of SBES expertise: Applied Mathematics, Engineering, and Computational Sciences. Its unique blend of SBES and Pedagogy research ensures that trainees acquire the knowledge and skills to be productive at the job readiness level expected by their employers.SMEs in the engineering, manufacturing, aerospace, and chemical sectors are the fastest growing segment of the Canadian economy and create the bulk of jobs in Canada. Their growth is at the same time fueled by the availability of affordable simulation tools, and stunted by the lack of HQPs to use them properly. The close regional proximity of the 4 universities to the large clusters of SMEs located within a 250 km radius from Montreal guarantees that the Polytechnique-driven RTP will have the largest impact on Canada's competitiveness in a global market and its international leadership in high impact research and innovation.

加拿大面临着前所未有的高素质人才（HQP）短缺。更糟糕的是，只有五分之一的加拿大年轻人选择在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的职业生涯。这严重威胁到加拿大的全球竞争力。它在研究和创新方面的领导地位正在迅速削弱。 据世界经济论坛报道：2010年，加拿大在全球竞争力指数排名中跌出前十名; 2015年，它已经下滑到第15位。这项针对CREATE计划学术流的提案将通过提供精心设计的研究培训计划（RTP）来对抗这一趋势，该计划将与加拿大所有工程学院共享。它得到了美国的支持。渥太华，美国拉瓦尔和U.蒙特利尔，并得到私营部门利益攸关方的支持。它的附加值将增加工程师（从BS到博士）选择基于仿真的工程科学（SBES）的职业生涯的数量。学员将成为推动加拿大经济增长的工业部门的领导者。我们的RTP与CREATE计划的目标保持一致：它提供了培养创造力和创新的手段以及广泛的教育和技能。我们的团队汇集了来自SBES专业知识所有关键领域的专家：应用数学，工程和计算科学。其独特的SBES和教育学研究相结合，确保学员获得的知识和技能是生产力在工作准备水平所期望的雇主。中小企业在工程，制造，航空航天和化学部门是加拿大经济增长最快的部分，并创造了大量的就业机会在加拿大。它们的增长同时受到可负担得起的模拟工具的可用性的推动，并且由于缺乏正确使用它们的HQP而受到阻碍。4所大学与位于蒙特利尔250公里半径范围内的大型中小企业集群的紧密区域接近，保证了理工学院驱动的RTP将对加拿大在全球市场的竞争力及其在高影响力研究和创新方面的国际领导地位产生最大的影响。
