| What it is | You study how to extract useful patterns and insights from large sets of data using computer science, mathematics, and statistics. The Co-op version requires you to complete paid work terms at companies throughout your degree, giving you real-world experience alongside your coursework. The Management option adds business and organizational courses if you want to lead data projects or work in strategy rather than focus purely on technical analysis. | You study the engineering principles behind medical devices and equipment, combining mechanical engineering with biology and healthcare applications. Unlike pure mechanical engineering, this program integrates biomedical sciences so you design systems that work inside or on the human body. It suits students interested in engineering who also want to apply their skills directly to medicine and health technology, with mandatory paid work terms built into the degree. | You study the design, building, and testing of cars and other vehicles, combining mechanical engineering with hands-on automotive know-how. Unlike a general mechanical engineering program, this focuses specifically on vehicle systems like engines, transmissions, and chassis. The co-op requirement means you work semesters in automotive companies alongside your classroom learning. It suits people who want engineering depth but prefer learning through real projects and industry experience rather than pure theory. |

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.
