computer science electives empowerment: we have designed our programs to allow more flexibility in the choice of electives as well as the flexibility of adding new electives by faculty members (e.g . robotics, programming the internet of things, introduction to data science, big data, game programming).  we also have added courses to engage 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 with faculty research like comp4479 directed research and special topics courses (e.g. comp3213, comp4210, comp5411 and comp5413) as well as reading courses like (comp5435 and comp5437). undergraduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 based on this elective structuring and empowerment can choose between two options (computer science with business or pure computer science). moreover, 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 taking the pure computer science can further enrich their degree with one of the two specializations (game programming and health informatics). however, graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 also enjoy the flexibility to choose between doing a one year course based master program or undertaking some research as directed by our faculties through the project option or to choose the thesis route where they can further enrich it with specialization in ai. 

focus on experiential learning: our focus on cooperative education that is a highly immersive form of experiential learning. our curriculum is designed to enable 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 to apply, refine, and extend their classroom learning in a community/industry context outside program and, with the experience gained in the community/industry context, to refine and extend their learning in the classroom not only in the cooperative education course but also in subsequent courses. at the undergrad program we allow 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 to take several co-op courses (e.g. comp2990, comp3990, comp3992, comp4990 and comp4992). at the graduate level we allow 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 to take two co-op courses (comp5990 and comp5991). we are very proud that our long experience along with the help of our university co-op department, we managed to have several important it employers including notable companies like ibm as well as a variety of governmental and private companies to employ our 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 .
