| What it is | Computer Science is the study of how to design, build, and improve software and the systems that run it. You learn programming languages, algorithms, data structures, and problem-solving techniques that apply across industries. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you spend time applying what you learn in real jobs alongside classroom study, which sets it apart from a straight academic stream. | You study how to design, build, and program systems where everyday devices — phones, sensors, machines, appliances — connect and communicate with each other over networks. The BEng&Mgt option adds business and management courses alongside the engineering core, preparing you to lead projects or teams. This program suits people interested in both hardware and software who want hands-on experience through mandatory co-op work terms. | 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. |
