DEC in Food Service Management

at LaSalle College - Montreal Campus Canada

The Computer Science Technology DEC, with a Programming profile, was developed with support from the information technology business community and will propel you straight towards a promising career with excellent job prospects.

You will develop programming skills following strict product development methodology. You’ll learn to work with various IT project management approaches, like Scrum, to design and develop various types of applications and support/maintain the integrity of organization applications while taking into account technological advancements in the industry. Finally, you’ll be able to use an object-oriented approach to analyze and develop.

You will also be able to develop various types of applications ready for installation and operation. You will have the chance to work as part of a team (industry) that integrates current project management best practices (e.g. Agile, Scrum) and uses the industry’s leading tools and software (GitLab, GitHub, etc.).

Costumes speak for themselves. They tell the story of a place, an epoch and most especially of a character. Whether it be a wandering knight, a nervous banker, you will be called to clothe them and bring them to life.

Conceptualizing a costume requires time travel in the past or into the future. Designing garments for an English family having a picnic on the banks of the Thames in 1776, or having to dress American political refugees exiled in Mexico in the year 2100 require extensive research.

In the cinema and television industry, costumes need to be produced in step with the scriptwriter. Knowing how to mimic the natural wear-and-tear of clothes during a short or long film and keeping the clothing style cohesive throughout will demonstrate your adaptability.

You may choose to specialize in costume design for cinema and television as of the fourth semester of your Fashion Design DEC program. Apply your talent and knowledge in the fields of cinema, television, circus and theatre.

In the Specialization in Business Intelligence program, students will learn about a company’s different departments and how they interact. They will learn about the design and modelling of an information system within the context of business intelligence.

They will also come to understand the challenges involved in data collection and learn how to practise data integration, analysis and visualization using business intelligence tools such as Microsoft’s BI suite.

This program will enable students to develop skills that will be applied to meet complex organizational needs and sustain an innovative culture.
