| 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. | 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. | You study the engineering and science behind medical devices and body systems — combining electrical, mechanical, and software engineering with biology and biochemistry. Unlike a pure engineering program, this integrated stream embeds health sciences throughout, so you're designing with biological function in mind from day one. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom and paid work terms at hospitals, manufacturers, or research labs. This suits students who want to build real medical technology rather than study engineering or biology alone. |

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.
