Courses
CMPUT 250 - Computers and Games
An interdisciplinary course for students in Science, Arts, and other faculties. The focus is on games as interactive entertainment, their role in society, and how they are made. Teams composed of students with diverse backgrounds (e.g. English, Art and Design, and Computing Science) follow the entire creative process: from concept, through pitch, to delivery, of a short narrative-based game using a commercial game engine. To achieve the required mix of backgrounds and experience, students must apply to be considered for this course. See the Department web site for the online form. Prerequisite: Second-year standing.
CMPUT 399 - Topics in Computing Science
This topics course is designed for a one on one individual study course between a student and an instructor. Prerequisites are determined by the instructor in the course outline. See Note (3) above.
MMA 606 - Machine Learning for Business II
Builds upon the foundational knowledge students acquired in Machine Learning for Business I, diving deeper into the specialized applications of machine learning techniques to unstructured data. By exploring areas such as text analytics, network analytics, recommender systems, and deep learning applications, students will gain a robust understanding of how to handle and analyze unstructured data such as text and images, which constitute a significant proportion of the data businesses encounter Restricted to students registered in the MMA Program. Non-MMA students require consent of home dept and the Masters Programs Office.
