| 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 science courses with business studies, so you study both scientific subjects like chemistry, biology, or computer science alongside accounting, management, and economics. Unlike a straight science degree, you gain practical knowledge of how science-based industries operate and how to manage projects or companies. It suits students who want a science career but also care about the business side — whether that's starting a science company, managing research teams, or working in science-related industries. | Computer Engineering combines the design of computer hardware with software development. You'll study circuits, processors, and systems alongside programming and algorithms, preparing you to work on everything from microchips to operating systems. This program includes a co-op stream, letting you alternate between classroom and paid work placements. It suits people who want hands-on problem-solving across both the physical and digital sides of computing. |
