I’m starting my first year in Computer Science in Fall 2026, and I’ll be taking COMP 1000 and COMP 1400. I was wondering if there are any online courses or YouTube tutorials you’d recommend that could help me get a head start over the summer. I’d like to build some basic understanding so the semester feels a bit easier and I have an idea of what to expect.
​
If I already have a Bachelor of Computer Science – Software Engineering Specialization from UWindsor, but I want to become an actual engineer. Can I transfer credits to Western Engineering in London, Ontario for Software Engineering? Would I still need to start from first year, and would I graduate with an engineering bachelor’s degree?
Which one is a better choice in 2026 for a grade 12 student who likes coding but looking for a future proof career computer science software engineering or electrical engineering??
Thank you
If I study Computer Science, I can work in software engineering, but it may be limited for hardware roles.
If I study ECE, what career options would I have? For example, could I work in software engineering, hardware engineering, embedded systems, robotics, or electronics?
I want the most flexible degree between software and hardware. Which one would you recommend: CS or ECE?
Hello everyone, I have a question about computer engineering at the University of Windsor.
I originally applied for computer science because I enjoy coding and am interested in working in software engineering. However, I recently came across a program called computer engineering. From what I understand, it seems like a combination of computer science and electrical engineering, but I’m not entirely sure what it involves.
When applying, I also chose general engineering so I would have flexibility in selecting a specific field later. I tried to find a dedicated computer engineering program, but I only saw something called Electrical and Computer Engineering.
However, I’m confused because I can’t find any program called Electrical and Computer Engineering on the university’s future students page where all the programs are listed.
I’m not sure how this works—is it a double major, a single combined program, or a major in electrical engineering with a specialization in computer engineering?
Could someone please clarify this for me?
Thanks
