康卡迪亚大学

Stimulate the senses. Engage the mind. When you study Computation Arts, you become a digital artist, using algorithms and computational theory to create interactive multimedia that breaks new audio-visual ground. The Computer Applications option gives doubly passionate students the flexibility to combine a traditional computer science degree with a non-traditional field. Our state-of-the-art labs for 3D graphics, high-performance computing and artificial intelligence will give you experience with the equipment you’ll use in the field. Through labs, lectures and projects, you’ll also: investigate programming paradigms as they relate to digital art and design; learn the techniques and conceptual strategies central to 3d digital production; use computer systems to process, synthesize, and manipulate digitized representations of sound. After graduation you’ll have the knowledge, skill and passion to succeed in the video game, entertainment or advertising industries. The Computer Applications option (90 credit program) gives the full flexibility for students to combine a solid grounding of hardware and software with another field of study outside the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science. Students are free to declare a Major or Minor in another discipline or to take a minimum of 24 credits in another field of study. We offer an honours program to computer science students with high academic standing. You may apply to the honours program once you have completed 30 credits. The Computer Science Co-op program gives you the chance to complete paid work terms that last 12 to 16 weeks. As a Co-op student, you will assist in projects designed and implemented by professionals and may also: analyze and develop computer solutions; design and create new software, and modify and test existing software used in a broad range of businesses and industries; plan and implement computer security systems for database access control. Computation Arts alumni have established careers in the advertising and entertainment industry as programmers and designers.
