Practicum 2: System Implementation
(Concentration course for Computer Science students
only)
This capstone course provides depth in the application
and integration of core system development and
implementation concepts. Emphasis is placed on the
integration of systems analysis/design techniques
learned in the Practicum 1 course with concepts of
operating systems, data structures, file and database
processing, computer architecture and software
engineering. This is a project course that requires
significant collaborative in and out‐of‐class work, written
documents and oral presentations. Students will carry
out autonomous milestones using different software
development tools. Traditional structured programming,
scripting programming and/or object oriented
programming may be used in the various projects to be
implemented.

Portfolio
(Concentration course for Computer Science students
only)
Portfolios are being used as an assessment tool and as a
general record of student achievement while studying in
our faculty. A portfolio allows students to integrate text
and the full range of digital media, including photos,
illustrations, data sheets, audio, video recordings, data
and information into programming assignments which
will be marked according to criteria’s established by the
instructors for all course’s final projects. It is
acknowledged that electronic media, specifically in our
field, is well suited to portfolio use and development.
Successful completion of all 420 program
courses from semester 1 through 5 with the only
exception being 1 general education course in
either English, Humanities, French,
Complementary or Physical Education and not a
block-B in English, Humanities or French.
