What it is	This program teaches you how to design, build, and test software and computer systems. You study programming languages, algorithms, data structures, and how computers work at a fundamental level. It suits people who enjoy problem-solving and logical thinking, whether you want to work in industry, research, or develop your own applications.	You study how to design, build, and maintain software applications that run on phones and tablets. This program is more focused on mobile devices than a standard computer science degree, and includes mandatory co-op work terms where you apply your skills in real companies. It suits people who want hands-on experience combining programming with practical problem-solving in the mobile tech industry.	You study how to design, build, and maintain software systems and applications, from the coding and logic to the architecture that makes programs run. This program includes hands-on projects in artificial intelligence and computer engineering alongside core software development. The co-op placement is required, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate.	You study the theory and practice of computer programming, software design, and how to build applications and systems. The co-op option lets you alternate between school terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want to combine hands-on coding skills with an understanding of how software works in actual business and technology settings.
