This program offers eight academic semesters with three co-op semesters for up to 12 months of industry experience upon graduation. You'll be well prepared to start your career or continue your studies in graduate programs.Combine theory with practiceBalancing theory and practice, this program offers an exceptional education in mobile computing, app development, software engineering and wireless technologies. With a degree in mobile computing you'll receive preparation to become a well-rounded, job-ready graduate. Pursue a Capstone Project or a Thesis for maximum flexibility and future career options.What you'll learnSheridan’s Mobile Computing degree program offers diverse courses in computer science, software engineering, mobile development and wireless networking. You’ll cover fundamental areas of computer science such as operating systems and computer architecture as well as advanced topics like artificial intelligence and theory of computation. You’ll also learn to develop programs in many programming languages like C#, C++, Java, Swift, Python, JavaScript and others using industry-grade frameworks and tools. You’ll take dedicated courses in software design and software engineering that inform the software development process. Specialized courses in mobile computing and wireless networking make this program unique, and ensure that you’ll be able to create advanced mobile applications that leverage cognitive computing, the cloud and the Internet of Things. You'll also have the opportunity to engage in applied research at Sheridan's Centre for Applied AI (formerly known as the Centre for Mobile Innovation) during your academic semesters and co-op work terms. The Centre for Applied AI is one of our cornerstone research centres. It uses leading mobile and related technologies to create innovative solutions to health-care problems.University linksUpon graduation, you may also be able to further your studies in graduate programs at any of the 18 universities (eight in Ontario) with which this program has agreements.Related programs: Opportunities to specialize in other areas of Computer ScienceYou might also be interested in our Honours Bachelor of Computer Science degree — a separate degree program that offers specializations in areas such as cloud computing, data analytics, game engineering and network engineering. Our Computer Science degree programs share many common core courses, making it easy to transfer from one to the other. If you want to change specializations after two years, you'll only need to make up two courses.Sheridan has been granted a consent by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to offer this degree for a seven-year term starting May 11, 2021 and subject to renewal thereafter. Application to the Ministry for renewal of the consent is a prescribed and cyclical requirement for degree programs at all Ontario Colleges. Sheridan will ensure that all students admitted to the Honours Bachelor of Computer Science (Mobile Computing) program during the period of consent will have the opportunity to complete the program within a reasonable time frame. Credentials earned during the period of consent remain valid, even if Ministry consent to offer the program is withdrawn in the future. Prospective students are responsible for satisfying themselves that the program and the degree will be appropriate to their needs (e.g. acceptable to potential employers, professional licensing bodies, or other educational institutions).PBACS
