What it isComputer 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.Artificial Intelligence Engineering teaches you how to design systems and machines that can learn and make decisions like humans do, combining computer hardware, software, and AI techniques. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, so you build real engineering experience while studying. The Management option adds business and leadership courses alongside the engineering core. This program suits students who want hands-on engineering work with AI technology and value learning in a workplace setting.
