What it isComputer Engineering combines the design of computer hardware with software development. You'll study circuits, processors, and systems alongside programming and algorithms, preparing you to work on everything from microchips to operating systems. This program includes a co-op stream, letting you alternate between classroom and paid work placements. It suits people who want hands-on problem-solving across both the physical and digital sides of computing.This program combines software engineering with biomedical systems, so you study both the programming and hardware tools used in medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and health technology. Unlike a standalone software or biomedical engineering program, this integrated approach means you work across both disciplines simultaneously rather than choosing one path. The co-op option lets you gain work experience in healthcare tech or medical device companies during your degree. It suits people drawn to both computing and biology who want to build tools that directly help medicine and patients.Engineering Science is a broad engineering program where you study math, physics, and engineering fundamentals before specializing in areas like aerospace, electrical, biotechnology, or general engineering. Unlike traditional engineering programs that lock you into one specialty from year one, this lets you explore multiple fields before choosing your focus. It suits students who are strong in math and science but unsure which engineering discipline fits them best, and who want optional paid work experience integrated into their degree.
