| What it is | Computer Science is the study of how to design, build, and understand software and computer systems. At Ontario Tech, you can choose between a straight science degree or combine it with management courses, which prepares you for roles where you lead tech projects or teams. The program includes a co-op component, giving you paid work terms at companies alongside your classes, which suits students who want real experience before graduating. | Computer Science at Windsor covers programming, systems design, and problem-solving with technology. You can specialize in areas like artificial intelligence, game development, animation, or software engineering depending on your degree choice. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain industry experience alongside your studies — a fit if you want hands-on learning and want to test career paths before graduating. | You study how to design, build, and maintain software systems and applications, from the coding and logic to the architecture that makes programs run. This program includes hands-on projects in artificial intelligence and computer engineering alongside core software development. The co-op placement is required, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. | You study how to design and build intelligent computer systems that can learn and make decisions, combining electrical engineering, software, and AI principles. The engineering and management option adds business and leadership courses alongside the technical work, preparing you for roles managing engineering teams or projects. This program includes co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom and paid industry experience. It suits students who want hands-on engineering training with real-world application and are comfortable with rigorous math and physics foundations. |
