Do you need help with social and economic policy analysis? Volunteer or advocate mobilization? Diversity and inclusion work within your organization? A social innovation, enterprise, or entrepreneurship project? One or more graduate students enrolled with in the Social Justice Studies Practicum option at Lakehead University may be able to support your work over the course of a full school year.

Would you like to understand better how to manage your software from conception to implementation? In this project, students working in teams will explore and analyze concepts, methods and techniques for supporting the construction, evolution, and maintenance of software systems, including machine learning systems and programs. Topics include the construction of software components identified and described in design documents; code implementation and reuse; software testing and Software Quality Assurance; methods and techniques to allow a software system to evolve and survive. Projects that students can work on: Software engineering and computer programming projects.

Students will work with your company to identify your needs and provide actionable recommendations, based on their in-depth research and analysis. Project activities that students can complete may include, but are not limited to: Demonstrated ability to analyze software risks, safety hazards, security attacks and potential exposure. Demonstrated ability in considering privacy, security and/or safety issues in the design of software systems. Demonstrated ability in the use of software and network security tools and techniques. Graduate can identify the legal and regulatory requirements relevant to an engineering activity Graduate can differentiate between ethics, morals, values and law, and apply ethical reasoning to professional dilemmas, including Professional Codes of Ethics.

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from Lakehead University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students in this program focus on major concepts of compiler and algorithm design. Topics include: regular expressions, automata theory, syntactical analyzers, context free grammars and parsers, algorithms complexity, asymptotic analysis, summations, recurrences, intractability and NP-hard problems, sorting algorithms, searching algorithms, dynamic programming and greedy algorithms.
