What it is	Computer 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.	You study both computer science and business administration as integrated degrees, not separate majors. This co-op stream requires you to alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms throughout your program, giving you applied experience in tech and business roles. It suits students who want technical depth and business acumen together, and who are willing to commit to a longer timeline that includes mandatory internships.	You study the engineering and science behind medical devices and body systems — combining electrical, mechanical, and software engineering with biology and biochemistry. Unlike a pure engineering program, this integrated stream embeds health sciences throughout, so you're designing with biological function in mind from day one. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom and paid work terms at hospitals, manufacturers, or research labs. This suits students who want to build real medical technology rather than study engineering or biology alone.	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.
