| What it is | You study the theory and practice of computer programming, algorithms, data structures, and software development. This program lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real-world experience while you learn. It suits people who want hands-on industry experience alongside their degree and are comfortable juggling work and study schedules. | This program teaches you applied engineering and IT skills together, focusing on how to design, build, and manage digital systems and software in real-world settings. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances hands-on technical work with engineering principles. It suits students who want practical technical training and are comfortable mixing math-heavy coursework with project-based learning. | You study how to design, build, and maintain software and computer systems. This program covers programming languages, algorithms, data structures, and how computers work at a fundamental level. If you choose the co-op stream, you'll alternate between studying and working at tech companies, giving you real professional experience alongside your degree. |
