Computing and Solid-State Device Technology Brock University

Program Description

Computing and Solid-State Device Technology is a unique undergraduate program combining a thorough training in physics and natural sciences with an extensive education in computing. It offers a four-year Honours program leading to a Bachelor of Science in Computing and Solid-State Device Technology degree as well as a Co-op option. The program emphasizes practical aspects of computing; use of computer-based and other solid-state electronic devices in control, manufacturing and research; and the skills needed to interface and use solid-state devices in real-world applications. Students participating in this program should expect a considerable lab load. The faculty encourages and facilitates students' summer internship placement in relevant industrial positions. This is an interdisciplinary program emphasizing the practical aspects of computing and applications of solid-state device technology. Students who want a deeper theoretical understanding might want to consider a Physics and Computer Science combined major program. Students are urged to give careful consideration to their choice of program, keeping in mind their areas of interest and capabilities, as well as their long-term career goals. Students should consult a faculty adviser when planning years 3 and 4 of the BSc programs.
