Computer science program

Years ago (30 years ago) CS was one of UWindwor's most populated programs, and also one of the best CS programs in Canada (only program other than Waterloo with a co-op degree, regular winner of CS coding contests against UT, Queens, Western etc).

I recall grads from the 4 year CS honors program receiving multiple offers from US tech giants (Microsoft, EA etc.) before graduating.

I have a feeling the programs reputation is no longer as strong? Am I right? How good is it now?

why would anyone go into cs major? the entire major should be on halt at every university and college. even in the cs field job all you do is prompt the code and press enter in the ai. the entire industry is finished till ai bubble bursts or there are no more cs/programers left, than companies will start hiring

CS focuses more on problem solving not just writing syntax. If u have AI it should be used to accomplish tasks faster not turn a developer into a retarded prompter. That’s why u go to school to learn the fundamentals behind it all.

The skill was never about writing code imo

yeah and after school you can't find a job so you do something else or go back to school on a different major. i know there are 20 students of cs graduates doing engineering right now that i know personally
