The program perfectly aligns with my goal of gaining practical, hands-on experience while preparing for a career in the tech industry. What really stood out to me was the versatility of electives and the relevant course offerings, all designed to equip students with the skills needed for professional work. Whether it's AI, ML, distributed systems, databases, or software engineering, every course is structured to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and industry expectations. Co-op allowed me to apply my technical skills in real-world settings, while networking events like hackathons, Demo Day, Google Developers Groups' workshops and job fairs helped me connect with industry professionals and showcase my work. The program has also sparked my entrepreneurial interest through the VentureU bootcamp and Next Gen CTO program. This has not only prepared me for industry roles but also inspired me to explore my own entrepreneurial journey.

The program emphasizes hands-on experience and real-world applications of technology, which aligns perfectly with my career goals. I’ve gained expertise in areas like software engineering, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advance algorithms. The co-op program has been particularly valuable, allowing me to apply the knowledge gained in class to real-world scenarios while gaining hands-on experience in the industry. Networking events and workshops hosted by the university have connected me with industry professionals, peers, and alumni, broadening my perspective on career paths and trends in technology.

Overall, my journey at the University of Windsor has been instrumental in shaping my skills, expanding my knowledge, and preparing me for a successful career in the tech industry.

I have genuinely come to appreciate all the university has to offer. The faculty is not only qualified and experienced, but also helpful and understanding. The class size and lecture space allow each session the possibility to be as insightful and interactive as possible. Furthermore, the department has several skill-building and knowledgeable technical workshops that the students do and should make use of. The university hosts various helpful events [and] a number of valuable resources to the students. Along with the weekly technical workshops I have attended that were hosted by the department, which helped me learn new technologies and computer science concepts, the Career Center at University of Windsor has and will also help me work towards a successful career in my field.
