| What it is | You study the theory and practice of building software, designing systems, and solving problems with computers. Carleton's program lets you focus on specializations like artificial intelligence, games, or software engineering, and includes a co-op stream where you alternate between classroom and paid work terms. This suits students who want hands-on industry experience alongside their degree and are interested in both the technical and applied sides of computing. | 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 and computer science together over five years, combining courses in machine design, systems, and programming. Unlike separate degrees in each field, you learn how they integrate — for instance, designing machines controlled by software. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms in engineering or tech companies. This suits people drawn to both the physical and computational sides of building things. |
