What it is	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.	Computer Engineering combines the design and building of computer hardware and software systems. You'll study circuits, processors, programming, and how to integrate them into working devices — going deeper into the physical and mathematical foundations than a pure computer science program. This admission stream requires you to complete mandatory work terms alongside your studies, alternating between school and paid engineering jobs in industry.	Engineering at Western teaches you to design and build solutions to practical problems using mathematics, science, and materials. You choose a specialization like software, mechanical, civil, or chemical engineering, or study general engineering first before deciding. The program includes co-op work terms, so you alternate between classes and paid jobs with employers, giving you real experience alongside your degree.
