What it is	You study the design, development, and theory behind computer software and systems. In the co-op stream, you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want to build real-world coding skills early and explore whether they prefer software development, artificial intelligence, games, or other computing specializations while earning money.	You study the theory and practice of computing, from writing software and building systems to artificial intelligence and how businesses use technology. The co-op stream requires you to alternate between semesters of coursework and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This suits students who want hands-on industry exposure while learning, or who prefer the traditional full-time study path.	You study civil engineering and biomedical engineering together in one program, combining skills in building and infrastructure design with the biology and chemistry needed to develop medical devices and treatments. Unlike separate engineering degrees, this integrated approach lets you apply engineering problem-solving to health-related challenges. It suits students interested in how engineering and biology intersect, who want flexibility to pursue either path or blend them.
