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.	This program combines electrical engineering with computer science, so you study both how to design electrical systems and how to write software that controls them. Unlike a single engineering degree, you earn two degrees in five years by taking courses in both fields simultaneously. It suits students who want flexibility across hardware and software rather than committing to just one discipline, and who are willing to spread their study over an extra year to do both.	You study both physics and electrical engineering over five years, earning two degrees and getting deep knowledge of how electricity, circuits, and electromagnetic systems work alongside the math and theory behind them. Unlike a single engineering degree, this double program gives you training in both the fundamental science and the applied engineering side. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms at companies, which suits students who want real-world experience before graduation and are ready for a longer program.
