History

In 2000, the Ontario government awarded funding for classrooms and laboratory space in the newly built Azrieli Pavilion, as well as for computing and laboratory equipment. This funding was awarded according to the provincial government's call to address the double cohort with joint programs between community colleges and universities. In 2003, the School opened under the directorship of Dr. Ben Gianni, offering two unique programs (Network Technology, and Interactive Multimedia and Design) in partnership with Algonquin College, whereby students graduate in four years with both an advanced college diploma from Algonquin College, and a Bachelor of Information Technology from Carleton University. In September 2005, Dorina Petriu took over directorship of the School. In September 2006, CSIT acquired a motion capture 3D development system and a renderfarm. In July 2009, Dr. Anthony Whitehead took over directorship of the School.

Information Resource Management program

Students in the Information Resource Management program develop a strong background in the cataloging, indexing, storage, presentation, analysis, and manipulation of all kinds of digital data. This program was introduced in Fall 2015.


Interactive Multimedia and Design program

Students in the Interactive Multimedia and Design program develop a background in a wide range of topics such as: web development, game development, animation, 2D and 3D graphics, programming, audio and video, graphic design, and general design as it relates to each of these areas of study.


Networking Technology program

Students in the Networking Technology program develop a strong background in topics related to networking, programming and computer science.


Optical Systems and Sensors program

Students in the Optical Systems and Sensors program (formerly Photonics and Laser Technology) develop a strong background in light-based technologies, from optical communication to computer vision, as well as from laser technology to remote sensing. This program was introduced in Fall 2012.
