Program Details

Computer Engineering School: University of Calgary Faculty: Schulich School of Engineering Degree: Bachelor ; Honours Field of Study: Computer Engineering, General Description: Computer engineers concentrate on the efficient assembly of the elements of computer hardware and their function in an assembled configuration. They develop computer components and computer system specifications, design and build product and circuit prototypes, and test and assemble hardware for specific functions. The computer engineering program focuses on math, science, and engineering principles, including electricity, magnetism, and computing in the first year. In the second year, the concentration increases on math, circuits, computing, and computer communications. In the final year, students take advanced computer architecture and computer languages. They also participate in team design projects under the direct supervision of a faculty member. Students can select electives such as system engineering, graphics, and more. Calgary is known as the "engineering capital of Canada" and the Schulich internship is the largest of its kind in the country. Students have the option of making this a five year program by participating in a 12 - 16 month internship after the third year to make contacts, get experience, and offset the costs of education. International placements expand horizons even further.
