We are planning an open house on Friday December 10, 2010 as part of the “Computer Science Education Week” festivities. The event will run from 11 to 3pm. Most of our labs will be running demos during that time and we will have guides to get you around the School.
We also have three other sites to visit which I am sure will be very exciting – the Human Media Lab – where they work on the next generation of human-computer interaction technology (http://hml.queensu.ca), the Software Analysis and Intelligence Lab (http://research.cs.queensu.ca/home/ahmed/home/) and the EQUIS Lab where they study computer gaming and collaboration technologies (http://research.cs.queensu.ca/~graham/equis.html).
We also have several biomedical computing labs working on computer-assisted diagnosis and surgery including orthopedic surgery, brachytherapy and cardiology. Roughly 30% of the graduates from our Biomedical Computing program get into Medical School!
Hopefully our Open House will provide an intriguing view into modern computer science.
