Polytechnique Montréal offers an
Information Engineering programme. Equipment and technological devices of modern software and hardware components may be so closely connected that it is almost impossible to separate: measuring and data collection, process control, electronic fuel injection systems and fuel systems the flight of aircraft, etc..
On the other hand, our society is increasingly focused on information anywhere there are computers that communicate with each other on networks of all kinds. The software becomes increasingly complex, and their creation as their maintenance requires special skills.
These are the engineers who must integrate knowledge and skills related to both hardware and software in order to tackle problems and find effective, efficient, profitable and socially acceptable. They are interested in the computer as a tool. Considering the hardware and software aspect, they ensure the design and implementation of systems used to receive, store, process, transmit, display and use information.
