What it is	This is a four-year program that combines an honours degree in one subject (like English, French, History, or Visual Arts) with teacher training for grades 7 through 12. Unlike a regular honours degree followed by separate teacher certification, you study both your subject and education courses together from the start, so you graduate ready to teach. It suits people who know they want to teach a specific subject at the high school level and want to earn their teaching qualification without extra study later.	This program teaches you how to design, build, and improve machines and mechanical systems, from engines to robots to manufacturing equipment. Unlike a standard mechanical engineering degree, co-op is mandatory here: you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at engineering companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. It suits students who want hands-on learning alongside theory and who are ready to commit to the co-op schedule.
