Hi all,
I have a plan to do my MS in canada. Is it good to do it in university of calgary. I also have a dilema in selecting my specialisation. I'm bit weak in math. Would it a best for me to get on with MS in Software Engineering(course based, since i wish to get on with a job after my MS)?. I'm from India. If possible kindly give me details on the stay in calgary n other details......
Also if SE is best for me then kindly say me the topics it cover during the course:idea:..............
Mod edit: Please don't use the bold tags on an entire post. If you need to emphasise something go nuts, but don't emphasise everything. Merci. |

I'm a final year(4th year) student doing my B.Eng in computer science in INDIA. I wish to get in to a job of type software developer r designer. But i think SE would put me in less trouble without the involving most of the math  .
Which am i to choose now(in my specialisation)? |

| Co-op is a program where you have to work a certain number of terms doing a real job related to your field. It's a good program, but I don't think it applies to you if you are doing an MS. |

Well if you are comnig from an enginering background and want to get in to software development with out alot of math (or as much math) then Software Engineering is probly not a bad bet.
Also they do have co-op programs for masters witch might be a good option if you are doing a corues work only masters and want to get a job right affter.
Basicly in co-op it takes longer to get your degree but for some terms you work at a postion adgred apon by your university (and noramly have to write some reports about it). Co-op gives you work expeience and contacts for when you graduate witch can help you get a job faster. |

| There usually is a co-op fee, but that depends on the University. University's "collaborate" to the extend that they advertise their students as viable employees for the duration of work-terms, and encourage company's to post a listing and conduct interviews. Though there is never an obligation to hire anyone. Co-op jobs are a lot like... jobs. It's more of a system of study where you take time off school and work. |

Dan, thanks for clearing that up, I didn't realize there was a co-op option for MS.
As Tony said, there is a fee, but the jobs are generally paid, so the fee is not as much of an issue. |

| The subjects would be dependent on the university and the prof you would studying under, you can usually find that sort of thing out by looking at the professors webpages and checking out their research interests |

This whole discussion confuses me.
Calgary does not offer a course-based Master's in SE, only a thesis-based one, as far as I can tell. And there is no mention of co-op. --PR |

This link would make u clear i hope RADGE. UofC offers Course based Msc in Software Engineering. But i'm not sure of the Co-op.
