What it is	You study how to design, build, and troubleshoot electrical systems and devices, from power grids to circuits in phones and computers. This program includes a co-op option that lets you work in industry while you study, giving you hands-on experience alongside classroom learning. It suits you if you like physics and math, want to solve practical problems with electricity and electronics, and value real-world work experience.	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.	This program teaches you how to design, build, and maintain software and computer systems, with courses in artificial intelligence and software engineering. You can choose to add a co-op stream, which alternates your study terms with paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits students who want hands-on coding skills and either prefer learning theory in a classroom setting or want to test their skills in industry while studying.
