Careers in Comp. Sci.
 

Post Secondary Opportunities

 

In computer science, the focus is on software. The content is almost entirely directly related to software.  We aren’t covering the hardware and physics aspects that they do cover in computer engineering, such as thermodynamics, electromagnetism and circuits.

 

There are no college level requirements. A high school degree with math courses are required only. We assume that the students have no programming experience. Courses in university start from the basics and give the foundations. That being said, students with previous programming experience have an edge at the very beginning.

Hardware and Embedded System Development Working with Arduino
  • If you're interested in hardware and embedded system development, you may have heard of Arduino before. These microprocessor boards respond to real world inputs (like a change in room temperature) by activating LED lights, turning on motors, or even sending messages over the web. This fun beginner course will show you how to get started with Arduino development. (4 hour YouTube course): https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/create-your-own-electronics-with-arduino-full-course/
HTTP Web Development
  •  Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the foundation of data communication on the World Wide Web. And this in-depth course will teach you how this massive network of computers really works. You'll learn about Domain Name Systems, URL paths, security, and more. If you're interested in networks and back end development, this course should be well worth your time.
