What it isYou study electrical engineering with a focus on how to apply it to medical devices and biological systems, like designing pacemakers or diagnostic equipment. This program is more specialized than general electrical engineering because it weaves in molecular biology and biochemistry so you understand the living systems your devices interact with. The co-op option lets you work in medical device companies or hospitals alongside your studies. It suits people who want engineering problem-solving but are drawn to healthcare applications.You study the theory and practice of computing, from writing software and building systems to artificial intelligence and how businesses use technology. The co-op stream requires you to alternate between semesters of coursework and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This suits students who want hands-on industry exposure while learning, or who prefer the traditional full-time study path.Engineering at Western teaches you to design and build solutions to practical problems using mathematics, science, and materials. You choose a specialization like software, mechanical, civil, or chemical engineering, or study general engineering first before deciding. The program includes co-op work terms, so you alternate between classes and paid jobs with employers, giving you real experience alongside your degree.
