Claude Y Laporte is a Professor at the École de technologie supérieure (ETS) an engineering school of the Université du Québec network of institutions. He teaches graduate and undergraduate software engineering courses. He received his Master in Applied Sciences from the Electrical and Computer Engineering department of École Polytechnique de Montréal in 1986. In 1980, he received his Master in Physics (computerized instrumentation) from the Université de Montréal. In 1989, he instigated the development of a software engineering center modeled on the Software Engineering Institute. This lead to the establishment of the Applied Software Engineering Center (ASEC) of the Computer Research Institute of Montreal (CRIM).

Between 1978 and 1991, he was professor at the Royal Military College (Saint-Jean), a military university of the Department of National Defence. He was tasked in 1988, as a project manager, to lead the development of a graduate program in software engineering for the Department of National Defence.

From 1992 to 1999, he worked at Oerlikon Contraves as a senior analyst responsible to coordinate the development and deployment of software and systems engineering processes and management processes.

He co-founded and chaired the Montréal Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN). SPINs are sponsored by the Software Engineering Institute. His interests include the development and deployment of software and systems engineering processes, process assessment, software quality and the management of technological changes.

He is a member of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (Professional Association of Engineers of the Province of Québec) (OIQ), IEEE Computer Society (IEEE), the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) and the Project Management Institute (PMI).

He is the Editor of Working Group 24 of JTC1/ISO/SC7. The working group has been mandated to develop Software Life Cycles for Very Small Enterprises (less than 25 employees). He also represents the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) at Working Group 20 of JTC1/ISO/SC7. This working group is developing a mechanism for the international certification of software engineering professionals.
