| 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. | Biomedical Engineering combines engineering design with biology and medicine to develop medical devices, implants, and diagnostic tools. Unlike general engineering, it focuses specifically on solving problems in healthcare and the human body. You'll alternate between classroom study and paid work terms with companies in the medical technology sector, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits students who want to apply engineering skills to help people but need real-world exposure to decide if the field is right for them. | Smith Engineering's common first year means you take the same core courses as all engineering students — math, physics, chemistry, and engineering fundamentals — before choosing a specialization like mechanical, civil, chemical, or aerospace engineering in second year. This delays your choice, letting you explore different engineering fields before committing. It suits students who know they want engineering but are unsure which branch fits them best. |

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.
