What it is	You 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 mechanical systems, computers, and biological science work together to solve medical problems, combining engineering design with biotechnology and programming. Unlike a single engineering degree, this double degree lets you earn two credentials in five years by integrating these three fields from the start rather than taking them separately. It suits students who want to design medical devices, prosthetics, or diagnostic equipment and are comfortable working across biology, mechanics, and software simultaneously.	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.
