A Tech Forward Education
I have been a course assistant every semester since Fall 2020. This is by far my favorite involvement as it allows me to directly help my peers in understanding challenging yet fascinating topics.
Rocco Polimeni
Computer Science Graduate
The co-op program helped me to gain real-life experience about how the things I learned in the classroom would translate to the industry. Not only did I get to exercise my hard skills in computer science at these roles, but I also got to develop my soft skills in collaboration, leadership, communication and presentation.
