| 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. | Energy Engineering focuses on designing, building, and managing systems that generate, store, and distribute power — from fossil fuels and nuclear reactors to solar and wind. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at energy companies, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree. The Management option adds business and leadership courses if you want to move toward supervisory or corporate roles. This program suits people who want hands-on engineering work combined with workplace learning and eventual responsibility for large-scale energy projects. | Computer Engineering combines the design and building of computer hardware and software systems. You'll study circuits, processors, programming, and how to integrate them into working devices — going deeper into the physical and mathematical foundations than a pure computer science program. This admission stream requires you to complete mandatory work terms alongside your studies, alternating between school and paid engineering jobs in industry. | You learn to design and code video games, combining programming skills with game design and storytelling. This program emphasizes building complete games from concept to finished product, rather than studying general computer science. It suits people who want to work in the game industry and have both technical problem-solving skills and creative ideas. |
