| What it is | Génie électrique (Electrical Engineering) teaches you how to design, build, and troubleshoot systems that generate, transmit, and use electrical power and signals — from power grids to electronics. This is a four-year engineering program with mandatory co-op placements, meaning you alternate between studying on campus and working in industry, giving you real hands-on experience alongside theory. It suits students who enjoy physics and mathematics, want practical engineering skills, and value learning through workplace projects. | 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. | Engineering I – Discovery Track lets you explore multiple engineering specializations during your first year before committing to a specific stream like chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, or software engineering. You can also choose to combine engineering with management or social studies. The co-op option means you'll alternate between classroom and paid work terms, giving you real experience in the field while studying. |
