What it isYou study how to design, build, and improve cars and vehicles, combining mechanical systems, electrical components, and manufacturing processes. The BEng&Mgt option adds business and management courses so you can move into leadership roles, whereas the standard BEng keeps the focus on engineering. This program includes co-op work terms where you work at automotive companies, suiting students who want hands-on industry experience alongside their degree.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, build, and improve machines and mechanical systems — engines, pumps, robots, and similar equipment — using physics and mathematics. This program includes a co-op component, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at engineering companies, giving you real-world experience alongside your degree. It suits students who enjoy solving practical problems, like how things work and why they fail, and who want hands-on learning combined with classroom theory.
