| What it is | Computer Science is the study of how to design, build, and understand software and computer systems. At Ontario Tech, you can choose between a straight science degree or combine it with management courses, which prepares you for roles where you lead tech projects or teams. The program includes a co-op component, giving you paid work terms at companies alongside your classes, which suits students who want real experience before graduating. | This program teaches you applied engineering and IT skills together, focusing on how to design, build, and manage digital systems and software in real-world settings. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances hands-on technical work with engineering principles. It suits students who want practical technical training and are comfortable mixing math-heavy coursework with project-based learning. | Mechatronic Systems Engineering teaches you how to design and build machines and devices that combine mechanical parts, electrical systems, and computer control. Unlike a pure mechanical or electrical engineering program, this one focuses on how all three work together — think robots, manufacturing equipment, or automated systems. It suits people who like hands-on problem-solving and want to work across mechanical, electrical, and software domains, and includes work experience through co-op placements. |
