Computing science is a program that sets a high bar for innovative excellence and pushes the boundary for new ideas. I have worked with lecturers and individuals who are involved with a lot of groundbreaking initiatives at TRU. My co-op has taught me how to work with large teams within a large organization, while following the practices of a civil servant.
