Mike BCIT Computer Systems graduation May 1986
It’s been a long time since completing my first post-secondary milestone through BCIT’s 2-year Computer Systems program. I had moved from Vancouver Island to the Big City and quickly embraced the total immersion of BCIT life. I made life-long friends and developed an appreciation for a pragmatic, innovative approach to solving business problems.
Not surprisingly, I haven’t used my IBM Assembler much in recent years (or ever). However, in managing products leveraging RESTful JSON APIs, .NET CORE code, and SQL Server 2019, I draw daily on those creative, pragmatic ideas to ensure our solutions meet the need fully and efficiently.
Today, new BCIT grads are digital natives with no practical need to delve into assembly language. Most have lived and breathed technology in a way that was once reserved for the absolute nerdiest. Regardless, there is more need than ever for outside-the-box thinking. That’s why Centerprise chose four years ago to partner with the BCIT Foundation as we sought to give back; a portion of every invoice is given to the Centerprise Information Solutions Award through the BCIT Foundation. We are excited to assist the next generation of innovative entrepreneurs leverage the overwhelming opportunities of modern tech.
BCIT Foundation helps to ensure today’s students develop the skills and experience they need to be tomorrow’s innovators, creators, and leaders.

- Being able to wrap my mind around the client / server architecture and when to use q calls vs direct server calls will improve my code significantly. – Level 1 classroom participant
- You did a great job trying to reach everybody that was taking the course even though there was a variance in the level of exposure they had to WBDK – It was great to be able to learn about all the things that WBDK does for you “behind the scenes” and how useful it really is for banking applications. – Level 1 classroom participant
- I can’t pick a favorite part – it was actually all good although I’ll never forget the conversation about letting DK work it’s magic. Truly excellent! – Level 2 classroom participant
- Mike’s teaching style promotes us discovering the answers for ourselves rather than having it dictated to us. We are taught to go to the Help document frequently and look for other examples of how a problem was solved. We often collaborate as a group coming to the best possible solution to a problem, not just one that works. I also really appreciated how closely we looked at steps in the process especially accruals and activity/integrity, peeling back the “magic”. – Level 2 classroom participant
