Studying at the Department of Computer and Software Engineering means joining an engaged, creative, and supportive community. Two student committees animate department life and organize events throughout the year to foster success, networking, and cohesion.
New student to Polytechnique?
GO-POLY is Polytechnique Montréal's integration program. It guides you through your first steps: IT tools, course registration, housing, insurance, and welcome activities. An essential starting point for a strong first semester.
Student Committees
CEGInfo and CEGL are the student committees for the Computer Engineering and Software Engineering programs. They work closely together and offer the same services to their members.

- Events — social activities for students from both programs, networking events with partner companies throughout the year.
- SÉPIL — study sessions for CS and SE students: work on your projects as a group, over free pizza and good coffee.
- Student lounge M-4521 — microwave, affordable snacks (coffee, granola bars, and more), a space to connect and unwind.
- Clothing — an annual collection of t-shirts, crewnecks, and hoodies in program colours.

Students in the Spotlight
Our students stand out well beyond the classroom.

Stefanie Lee Milczarek
A 2024 Schulich Leader Scholar, she discovered the creative side of software engineering through an algorithms course — and hasn't looked back since.
Michael Roussel
He contributed to creating a video game for learning the Innu language, in collaboration with Laval Virtual — a demonstration that software engineering can generate profound social impact.
