Northeastern University Software Engineering & Information Systems - SEIS

Big news — we have a new name!

The Multidisciplinary Graduate Engineering (MGEN)
The unit is now the Software Engineering & Information
Systems (SEIS) unit at Northeastern University’s
College of Engineering.

While our name has evolved, our commitment to
innovation, collaboration, and student success
remains the same.

A new chapter begins — and we’re excited for
What’s ahead? 🐾

🌟 Yashika Lodh, MS in Software Engineering Systems · Northeastern University · Boston

Yashika has always wanted to build things people could actually feel ,long before she knew what software engineering was. 🛠️✨

At her co-op with Aikreate, she architected the exercise validation engine and a Singleton-based system for a visual coding platform for middle and high school students, controlling exactly which blocks students see at each stage of learning. 👩‍💻
Watching a 13-year-old wait for their turtle graphic to move, and knowing she'd be the one fixing whatever broke is, as she puts it, "a kind of pressure no classroom prepares you for."

But watching students use what she built in live bootcamp sessions? The most rewarding work she's ever done. 🙌
Outside of code, her dream is to one day open her own café —quiet, beautifully designed, a place where people slow down. The same instinct that drives her engineering drives her there too: building spaces people genuinely enjoy being in.

In honor of Star Wars Day, here's a message to every MGEN engineer out there 👇​

🔴 Red terminal errors = the Dark Side ​

🟢 Green "build successful" = the Force ​

☕ Coffee = your lightsaber ​

📚 Finals season = the Battle of Endor​

May your code compile on the first try, your co-op applications get responses, and your GPA stay strong. 🙏​

You are the Jedi engineers the galaxy needs. 🚀⚡​
