  • COSC Students doing great in the International Collegiate Programming Contest

    Tuesday, April 20, 2021 | By

    Several students from Brock Computer Science recently took part in the East-Central North America Regionals of the International Collegiate Programming Contest (https://icpc.global/), competing against teams from Ontario, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana. Congratulations to all of our teams for their strong showing in this competition: Brock Badgers (Joel Gritter, Kindeep Kargil, and Aditya Rajyaguru), Golden Badgers (Quinn Flavel, Rikveet Hayer and Joel Liju Jacob), and Honey Badgers (Muttaz Fattal, Sam Langdon, and Brandon Wanji Wanmeni).

    COSC would like to proudly recognize the students’ time and efforts to prepare for the contest, representing Brock University and the Department of Computer Science.

    Due to their high placement, the Golden Badgers have advanced to the North America Division Championships to be held on April 22nd, where they will compete against other high-placing teams from other regions of North America. This is a huge achievement for this team. Best of luck!

  • In Memory of John R. Futers

    It is with an incredibly sad heart, that we share the news of John Futers’ passing. He was an integral part of the Department of Computer Science both as a TA, Course Coordinator and Instructor, since 2005. John was one of the most diligent individuals we had the honour of knowing. He cared about the students, went above and beyond within his role of Course Coordinator (where the department depended on him greatly) and would drive from his home specifically to meet up with students as needed. He had a great sense of humour and we could tell by his conversations, loved his family. John truly was one who lived his life to the fullest and he will be missed by many here in Computer Science.

    John Futers’ obituary

    The Livestream Service will happen tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10:55 am.

  • COSC student Joel Gritter wins the Co-op Student of the Year 2020 Award

    Monday, January 18, 2021 | By

    This award is a recognition of excellence in job performance, academic achievements and extra-curriculum involvement, based on a student’s contributions to their co-op employers, co-op education at Brock and the community-at-large. The ideal candidate should have passion about what they do, have perseverance and strives to not only achieve, but to surpass all expectations, to confront all challenges with a positive attitude. Joel has consistently exemplified the excellence of all the qualities we expect of our co-op students in his own way.

  • Tensorflow Workshop

    Monday, November 02, 2020 | By

    Are you interested in machine learning and AI? 

    Next week, the CSC hosts a machine learning workshop on Thursday, November 5, from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. This interactive workshop is beginner-friendly and introduces some commonly used technologies and methods. Be sure to sign up at https://dsc.community.dev/e/m422sw/

    This workshop will focus on Tensorflow. Tensorflow is a robust framework developed by Google and is commonly used in industry and research for machine learning applications. We will provide a hands-on introduction to using Convolutional Neural Networks for image classification. 

    Our goal is to get new users an experiential opportunity to learn and use ML tools. You can think of it as a “Hello World” for machine learning with TensorFlow and Python. Zero experience with Tensorflow and minimal coding experience is required. We will have practical code examples during the workshop, and we will explain the involved details.

    The workshop will use Google Colabs so that everyone has access to the same development environment during the workshop. Do not forget to make sure you have a Google account set up before joining.
