'''''The Library of Babel''''' is a short story by Argentine author and librarin Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), conceiving of a universe in the form of a vast library containing all possible combinations of alphanumeric text. A splinterfan group has created a prototype of the idea at [http://libraryofbabel.info libraryofbabel.info].
The '''Engineering Investment Group''' (EIG) envisions educating engineering students about the capital markets and the finance world as a whole. Through real-life investment activities, events and speaker series, we want to create a community of like-minded people to share their thoughts and challenge each other’s ideas.

Borges' narrator describes how his universe consists of an enormous expanse of adjacent hexagonal rooms, each of which contains the bare necessities for human survival—and four walls of bookshelves. Though the order and content of the books is random and apparently completely meaningless, the inhabitants believe that the books contain every possible ordering of just 25 basic characters (22 letters, the period, the comma, and the space). Though the vast majority of the books in this universe are pure gibberish, the library also must contain, somewhere, every coherent book ever written, or that might ever be written, and every possible permutation or slightly erroneous version of every one of those books. The narrator notes that the library must contain all useful information, including predictions of the future, biographies of any person, and translations of every book in all languages. Conversely, for many of the texts some language could be devised that would make it readable with any of a vast number of different contents.
McGill’s Engineering Investment Group aims to bridge the gap between engineering and finance by providing an outlet for engineering students to learn and share their thoughts about the ever-changing world of finance. We plan to educate engineering students through real-life investment activities, events, and guest speaker sessions. Our goal is to create a community of like-minded people to share their thoughts and challenge each other’s ideas.  
 
The group's primary objective is to manage a balanced investment portfolio and showcase the merit of McGill Engineering students to large financial institutions. We will organize activities for members to demonstrate their investment skills and become a part of our Fund Management Team. We aim to provide students with the information and tools required to properly analyze and evaluate stocks. Our hope is that students will take with them the skills they learn to create opportunities for a career in the financial sector upon graduation. In addition, industry leaders will be invited to talk and share their career advise specific to engineering students.
