Program Content Outline
 
This Computer Science career program at Vanier consists of four main areas of study and work. These four areas are outlined below. Students must, also, develop their oral and written communication skills in both French and English since these skills are essential to all computer-related occupations in Québec.
 
Computer courses form the first and major area of study. Different types of programming:
 
  • object-oriented programming
  • traditional procedural programming
  • database programming
  • event-driven programming
  • Internet and multimedia programming
  • Different programming languages (Java, Visual Basic, C++, and some COBOL).
  • Database systems using SQL, Oracle, JDBC and ODBC.
  • Analysis and design studies using computerized graphical design tools for electronic commerce (e-commerce) and database projects
  • Study of computer operating systems, computer networks, telecommunications and Internet systems
 
A 'stage' (work-training period) in industry, which runs three days per week during the entire sixth semester of studies. Students work on real computer projects in a business setting. The stage gives valuable work experience, which is essential to getting a permanent job in the computer field.
