The courses are delivered through the Centre for Aerospace Professional Education (CAPE), which is co-led by McGill and ÉTS, in partnership with aerospace companies in the Montreal area. CAPE provides training that develops and deepens knowledge, skills, and interests of aerospace engineers. Professional/leadership skills training is offered through McGill’s Continuing Studies. In addition, AeroCREATE may bring in guest speakers to offer special-topic lectures – you’ll be notified of these when they are being planned for, as they are not regularly scheduled through the year, like the required components above.
