| 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 test software systems that solve real problems — the programs and apps that run on computers and devices. The co-op stream requires you to alternate between study terms and paid work terms at software companies, giving you workplace experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want to combine coding and problem-solving skills with practical industry experience before graduating. | 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. |
