| What it is | You study how to design, build, and maintain software systems and applications, from the coding and logic to the architecture that makes programs run. This program includes hands-on projects in artificial intelligence and computer engineering alongside core software development. The co-op placement is required, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. | You study how to design and build computer systems, combining software and hardware engineering with applications like artificial intelligence. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, giving you practical experience in industry while you study. It suits students who want hands-on problem-solving in computing and are willing to balance classroom learning with paid work semesters. | You study mechanical engineering combined with biomedical technology and computer science over five years, learning to design medical devices and systems using mechanical and software skills. Unlike a single engineering degree, this double program integrates all three fields from the start rather than treating them separately. It suits people drawn to healthcare innovation who want hands-on experience solving real engineering problems through mandatory work terms. |

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.
