| 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 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 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. |
