What it is	Smith Engineering's direct-entry computer engineering program lets you study the design and programming of computing systems from the ground up, combining software development with the electronics and electrical principles that make hardware work. Unlike applying to general engineering first, you enter this stream directly and follow a focused path in computer engineering throughout your degree. It suits students who are confident they want to build or optimize computer systems and hardware, not just write software in isolation.	This program combines software engineering with biomedical systems, so you study both the programming and hardware tools used in medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and health technology. Unlike a standalone software or biomedical engineering program, this integrated approach means you work across both disciplines simultaneously rather than choosing one path. The co-op option lets you gain work experience in healthcare tech or medical device companies during your degree. It suits people drawn to both computing and biology who want to build tools that directly help medicine and patients.	Engineering Science is a broad engineering program where you study math, physics, and engineering fundamentals before specializing in areas like aerospace, electrical, biotechnology, or general engineering. Unlike traditional engineering programs that lock you into one specialty from year one, this lets you explore multiple fields before choosing your focus. It suits students who are strong in math and science but unsure which engineering discipline fits them best, and who want optional paid work experience integrated into their degree.
