| What it is | This program combines mechanical engineering with biomedical applications, so you study how to design and build machines and devices used in medicine and healthcare — from artificial joints to diagnostic equipment. Unlike a straight mechanical engineering degree, you focus on the intersection of mechanics and biology. It suits students who want engineering problem-solving skills but are drawn to healthcare and want to see their work help people directly. | Computer engineering combines the design of computer hardware with the software that runs on it. You'll study circuits, processors, programming, and systems that integrate both. The co-op stream lets you alternate between classroom and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree, which sets it apart from the straight four-year option. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
