Without computer hardware and software, there would be no smart phones, DVD players, digital recorders and critical systems in airplane cockpits, modern cars, or computerized medical devices. As a computer engineer, your knowledge of computer architecture, digital electronics, circuits and digital communication will lead to innovations or bring about another information revolution. Choose the Avionics and Embedded Systems Option or create your own path based on electives that suit your interests. Our state-of-the-art labs designed for programming in assembly language, digital systems and high-performance computing will give you experience with the tools you will use in the field. Through labs, lectures and projects, you’ll also:

• Study mathematics and engineering science
• Learn programming methodology to design data structures and algorithms
• Learn to resolve issues of system interfaces and integration
• Design embedded computing and communication systems for high-performance applications, such as a small, unmanned aircraft

A Bachelor of Engineering degree takes a minimum of four years (120 credits) of full-time study, depending on your academic background. Courses in the program are in three main areas:

• Engineering fundamentals (includes courses on engineering economics, health and safety and professional practice);
• Computer engineering fundamentals (includes courses on programming methodology, signals and systems, data structures and organization and more)

In the third year of study, students may choose one of the following options:

• Avionics and Embedded Systems
• Credits chosen from the Computer Engineering electives list

The Co-op program gives you the chance to complete paid work terms that last 12 to 16 weeks. As a Co-op student, you will play a large role in testing software packages designed and implemented by engineers. You may also:

• Design, build and test computing systems
• Design and implement software systems
• Develop and maintain databases

Computer Engineering alumni have established careers in a range of computing fields, including aerospace avionics, real-time embedded systems, communication systems, software systems and computer architecture and hardware. Some graduates have been hired by:

• Bombardier
• CAE Inc.
• The Canadian Space Agency
• CGI
• Ajilon Consulting
