| What it is | 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. | Mechatronics engineering combines mechanical systems with electronics and computer control to design machines and devices that think and move. You'll learn how robots, automated equipment, and smart machines work by studying mechanics, electrical circuits, and artificial intelligence together rather than separately. The management stream adds business courses if you want to lead technical teams; the co-op option lets you work semesters in industry. This suits people who want hands-on problem-solving across multiple disciplines and enjoy building things that integrate hardware and software. | This program teaches you how to create digital content across animation, game design, and visual media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical skills with creative and design thinking. It suits people who want to build things that people see and interact with, rather than work mainly on backend systems or theory. |
