COURSE CURRICULUM

The Computer Science (BCSc) program offers a wide range of courses designed to provide both foundational knowledge and specialized skills in various areas of computing. For example, COMP 3020: Human-Computer Interaction 1 explores the design and evaluation of user interfaces, emphasizing how people interact with computers. COMP 3030: Automata Theory and Formal Languages delves into the theoretical aspects of computation and language recognition, providing essential mathematical underpinnings for computer science. COMP 3190: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence introduces concepts and techniques that enable machines to simulate intelligent behavior. COMP 3490: Computer Graphics 1 focuses on the principles and techniques behind generating visual content using computers. Security and privacy are addressed in courses like COMP 4140: Introduction to Cryptography and Cryptosystems and COMP 4580: Computer Security, where students learn about protecting data and systems from unauthorized access. COMP 4360: Machine Learning covers algorithms that allow computers to learn from data and make predictions or decisions. Real-time computing systems are explored in COMP 4550: Real-time Systems, teaching students how to design systems that operate within strict timing constraints. Finally, COMP 4710: Introduction to Data Mining introduces methods for extracting useful patterns and knowledge from large datasets. Together, these courses equip students with a diverse skill set to succeed in various computing fields.
