| What it is | You study the practical design and development of software systems, combining computer science fundamentals with engineering principles. Unlike a straight computer science degree, this co-op program alternates your school terms with paid work placements in real software companies, letting you apply what you learn and build professional experience. It suits students who want hands-on experience building software and prefer learning by doing alongside their coursework. | Computer Engineering teaches you to design and build computing systems, from the hardware circuits inside devices to the software that runs on them. Unlike pure computer science programs, you study electrical engineering alongside programming, so you learn how computers actually work at a physical level. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real industry experience. This program suits people who want hands-on problem-solving across both hardware and software, and who value learning through workplace projects. | Mechatronics Engineering combines mechanical systems, electrical circuits, and computer control into one program. You learn to design and build machines that think and respond — robots, automated factories, smart devices — by integrating mechanics, electronics, and software. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies using these skills, so you graduate with real industry experience. |
