| What it is | Computer engineering combines the design of computer hardware with the software that runs on it. You'll study circuits, processors, programming, and systems that integrate both. The co-op stream lets you alternate between classroom and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree, which sets it apart from the straight four-year option. | You study how to design, build, and program systems where everyday devices — phones, sensors, machines, appliances — connect and communicate with each other over networks. The BEng&Mgt option adds business and management courses alongside the engineering core, preparing you to lead projects or teams. This program suits people interested in both hardware and software who want hands-on experience through mandatory co-op work terms. | You study how to design and build computer systems, combining software and hardware engineering with applications like artificial intelligence. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, giving you practical experience in industry while you study. It suits students who want hands-on problem-solving in computing and are willing to balance classroom learning with paid work semesters. |
