Durham College computer students have been connecting their coursework with industry networking, cloud problem-solving and municipal technology, according to a college report published October 30.
The update brings together activities involving several computing programmes and a City of Oshawa speaker. It describes learning experiences over the past year, rather than announcing that all the events happened this week.
Professional connections and practical exercises
The college says more than 50 students met technology professionals at an event organised with the ISACA Toronto Chapter. Participants came from computing, programming and cybersecurity programmes.
Third-year students tackled team-based cloud challenges through AWS Jam. A separate Cisco learning activity covered ethical hacking and security practices.
Oshawa technology in focus
Second-year students also heard from Steve Patterson, Oshawa’s manager of cybersecurity and infrastructure operations, through TeachingCity Oshawa. His presentation connected networking and security with municipal systems, including Next Generation 9-1-1 and Advanced Vehicle Systems.
For Durham College computer students, the report illustrates several different routes from classroom concepts to workplace questions. It does not announce a new programme, a hiring commitment or the completion of a municipal technology project.
Clarington Post also covered the college’s update. This report is separate from earlier TeachingCity coverage about planning, public art and firefighter training.
