About the School of Engineering and Computer Science

The engineering profession in Canada contributes in a major way to the economic and general well-being of society through the practical application of science towards inventions and the development of goods and services. The success of the program is most significantly measured by the value attributed to our graduates. Over the past decade, the School has developed and maintained a strong, supportive network of employers who continue to enthusiastically integrate our students within their workforce.

Post-graduation, our students have equally bright prospects: Laurentian University holds the highest post-graduation employment rate in Ontario at 95%, an accomplishment which speaks to both the quality of our programs, and the career opportunities available to the  right graduates in the Canadian and global workplace. The School’s post-graduation employment rates have consistently outpaced the provincial trend as the region’s resource-based economy is the perfect learning environment for chemical, mechanical and mining engineers.
