Our programs attract students from Victoria to St. John’s, as well as many international students. Lakehead graduates are well-equipped for a wide range of career opportunities and you’ll find our well-rounded graduates as recognized professionals in many engineering sectors.
 
As a software engineer, you will apply engineering methodologies and good practices to the analysis, design, implementation, verification and deployment of computer software. Software has become an omnipresent and fundamental part of modern society, while at the same time it has grown dramatically in size, scope, and complexity. As a result, there is an immediate and important need for qualified software engineers who can model entire software and hardware systems and understand the role of individual components of the system, who can lead interdisciplinary project teams of designers and developers to build these large-scale systems, and who can ensure quality, integrity, and safety of the software infrastructure that the public depends on every day.
