| What it is | You study how to design and build software and computer systems, with options to specialize in game development. The co-op requirement means you complete paid work terms at tech companies alongside your classroom learning, giving you real industry experience before graduation. This program suits students who want hands-on technical training and the chance to build a professional network early in 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. | Industrial engineering teaches you how to design and improve systems that make things or deliver services more efficiently — focusing on people, machines, and processes rather than just the product itself. The BEng&Mgt option adds formal business and management coursework alongside engineering, preparing you to move into supervisory or planning roles, whereas the straight BEng keeps the focus on the technical engineering side. This program suits people who like problem-solving and math but also want to understand the business side of manufacturing or operations. | 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. |
