What it is	You study computer science and design together in a hands-on, project-based way rather than as separate subjects. The program emphasizes learning through real problems and experimentation, so you'll build working projects alongside traditional coursework. This suits people who want to understand how technology and design connect and prefer learning by doing.	You study mechanical engineering and computer science together over five years, combining courses in machine design, systems, and programming. Unlike separate degrees in each field, you learn how they integrate — for instance, designing machines controlled by software. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms in engineering or tech companies. This suits people drawn to both the physical and computational sides of building things.	This double degree program combines chemical engineering and computer science over five years. You study how to design chemical processes and systems alongside programming, software development, and computing theory — giving you expertise in both fields rather than choosing one. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms at engineering firms. It suits students who want a broader technical foundation and don't mind the longer timeline and work-study schedule.

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.
