| What it is | Computer Science is a four-year degree covering the design, development, and theory behind software and computer systems, with options to specialize in artificial intelligence or software engineering. The co-op stream lets you alternate between study terms and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real-world experience alongside your coursework. This program suits students who enjoy problem-solving and coding, and who want to build professional experience before graduating. | You study how cars and vehicles are designed, built, and manufactured, combining mechanical engineering with hands-on problem-solving. The co-op version requires you to complete paid work terms at engineering companies alongside your classroom learning, giving you real industry experience before you graduate. This program suits students who want practical engineering skills and are willing to extend their studies to fit in work semesters. | You study mechanical engineering and computer science together over five years, combining courses in machine design, systems, and programming. Unlike separate degrees in each field, you learn how they integrate — for instance, designing machines controlled by software. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms in engineering or tech companies. This suits people drawn to both the physical and computational sides of building things. |
