Program Details
From the world’s longest fully automated transit system in Vancouver to Hydro-Québec’s smart energy grid system, these are practical examples of Computer Systems Engineering in action. In the Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering program, students learn how computer hardware meets software systems to design, integrate and build devices or complex architectures. Computer systems fuel high performance algorithms that enable emerging technologies like autonomous vehicles, cloud computing environments or smart cities.
From software and algorithms to network architecture and design, Computer Systems Engineering students learn about all of the elements needed to build connected and intelligent computer systems. And because students take both software, and hardware-focused courses, graduates have an edge in fields that integrate the two, such as aerospace, telecommunications, Internet of Things (IoT) and autonomous systems.
Labs and Facilities
Carleton’s Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Systems Engineering combines core skills in software, hardware, and networks with electives in AI, Machine Learning, and web development. You’ll gain practical experience with cutting-edge technologies like robotics and cloud computing in state-of-the-art labs, learning from professors who are leaders in their field.
Co-op
Carleton offers students a paid Co-op option with work terms of 4, 6, 8, 12 or 16 months.
Work Experience
Ottawa is home to one of Canada’s largest concentrations of government agencies and high-tech companies. Located near campus is Kanata North, Canada’s largest technology park—offering Carleton students a direct pipeline to hundreds of companies looking for talent in computer systems engineering.
Did you know?
Students in Computer Systems Engineering have access to groups like the Systems and Computer Engineering Society (SCESoc), who host networking events as well as technical and professional skill development opportunities.
