What you study	Computer Science General or Integrated Engineering Interdisciplinary Studies Mechanical Engineering	Artificial Intelligence General or Integrated Engineering Management Mechanical Engineering
What it is	You study mechanical engineering combined with biomedical technology and computer science over five years, learning to design medical devices and systems using mechanical and software skills. Unlike a single engineering degree, this double program integrates all three fields from the start rather than treating them separately. It suits people drawn to healthcare innovation who want hands-on experience solving real engineering problems through mandatory work terms.	Mechanical Engineering (Co-op) teaches you how to design, build, and improve machines and mechanical systems, from engines to robots. Unlike the standard degree, you alternate between semesters of classroom learning and paid work terms at engineering companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. This program suits students who want hands-on problem-solving skills and a clearer sense of what engineering work actually involves.

Same subject area and a similar published range, at a campus you have not got in the table yet.

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
