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 engineering design with biology and medicine so you can solve health-care problems using technology and innovation. Unlike a standard biomedical engineering degree, it explicitly weaves in entrepreneurship and business thinking, preparing you to develop and bring new medical devices or health technologies to market. It suits people who want to build things that help patients and are interested in turning ideas into real products or companies.
