| What it is | You study how to design and build computer software and systems from the ground up, combining computer science theory with practical engineering problem-solving. This is more applied and hardware-focused than a pure computer science degree, and the co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms with employers. It suits people who want hands-on experience in real jobs while learning, and who prefer the structured engineering approach to software development. | You study a specialized branch of engineering — chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, software, or another field — applying math and science to design and build real structures, systems, or software. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at engineering companies, giving you industry experience before you graduate. This program suits students strong in math and physics who want hands-on learning and concrete career preparation. |
