The University of New Brunswick (UNB) faculty of Computer Science (CS) is piloting a leadership program in partnership with MESH/diversity, a software company co-founded by UNB graduate Mike Wright ((BBA’96, BCS’99). The company provides AI-driven equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) training for workplaces and organizations.
These days, artificial intelligence (AI) and data science are everywhere. From ChatGPT and Alexa to the most advanced research labs, the world increasingly relies on complex processes and vast amounts of data in areas like stock trading, image restoration, translation and developing new medications.
The co-op program equips students with skills in cybersecurity, data science, computer programming and software development, among others, preparing them to tackle the significant challenges of today in a fast-paced, increasingly digitized economy and world.
The computer science and engineering faculties at the University of New Brunswick ranked in the 201-250 brackets on the Times Higher Education’s 2023 World University Rankings list, placing UNB in the top 20 per cent in the world, number 1 in the Atlantic region and top 10 in Canada.
