Durham College will be offering two new technology-related programs in September.
In one of them, students will be able to work toward a two-year diploma in web development. The college promises lessons in design and coding while students learn to build their own apps and websites.
“Unlike other programs of its kind, students will approach interactive elements through a creative lens, developing the graphic and technical skills to become highly competent designers who can deliver dynamic, cross-media content,” reads a release by the college. “With the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to design and develop web content for all digital platforms, graduates will be familiar with the latest trends and techniques when entering the workforce.”
In the other program, they will be able to earn a one-year graduate certificate specializing in the Internet of Things (IoT).
‘Internet of Things’ is a special name for the millions of devices worldwide that can be connected to the Internet. This can range from computers and smart phones to more-specific devices, like smart thermostats and automated light bulbs. This also includes personal assistants like Siri and Alexa.
The college promises lessons in software design and cybersecurity, among other topics, so students can be ready as more and more elements of homes and societies become linked up with the Internet.
“Employment opportunities for graduates of this program are on the rise and the IoT sector currently employs skilled programmers, developers and technicians working in a range of occupations and industries, such as health care, community infrastructure, traffic routing, private and public transportation, industrial robotics, mining and gaming,” reads a statement by the college.
The web development program offers the chance for students to complete either a capstone project or a field placement.
