Program details

Overview

This bachelor's program in computer engineering at Polytechnique Montréal covers the design and implementation of systems for capturing, storing, and processing information. Coursework spans computer architecture, embedded systems, human-machine interfaces, algorithms, cybersecurity, and computer networks, with an emphasis on evaluating engineering solutions for efficiency, cost, performance, and usability. The curriculum combines a mandatory paid internship with industry with a sequence of integrative capstone projects completed across the program, giving students hands-on experience building and testing computing systems such as robotics applications, web platforms, and drone systems in collaboration with industry partners. The program is delivered on campus at Polytechnique Montréal in Montreal, Quebec. It suits students interested in the hardware and software sides of computing who want to work as software designers, systems architects, or technical specialists in sectors such as telecommunications, gaming, healthcare technology, robotics, and finance, and who are drawn to project-based, applied engineering training rather than a purely theoretical curriculum.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: The Computer Engineering (B.Ing.) page states only that admission is in Fall and Winter, linking to the institution's admission-conditions page for the entry requirements, so the general Baccalauréat conditions apply. Language is assessed first: applicants schooled in a system Polytechnique does not recognise as francophone must present a qualifying French test result — DALF C1/C2 or DELF B2 (lifetime validity), or 400 (level B2) in every component of TCF Canada, TCF Québec, TCF tout public, TEF Canada or TEF Québec (2-year validity) — before the file is reviewed; holders of a Québec DEC, a Canadian secondary diploma or degree earned in French, or schooling from a recognised francophone system or the AEFE network are exempt. Québec applicants enter from the collegial system, normally with a DEC in the appropriate pre-university field; applicants schooled outside Québec apply through published equivalence routes by qualification (French baccalauréat, IB, OSSD and other Canadian provinces, US high school, classes préparatoires, prior university study, among others). Anyone who finished secondary school outside Québec with no subsequent post-secondary study first completes Polytechnique's integrated 30-credit preparatory year, extending the degree to five years.
