What it is	You study the core principles and applications of engineering across multiple disciplines — mechanics, materials, electrical systems, and design — rather than specializing in one branch from the start. This program includes mandatory work terms integrated throughout your degree, giving you hands-on experience in engineering roles while you study. It suits students who want broad engineering foundations and real workplace experience before deciding on a specialization.	You study how to design and build infrastructure like roads, bridges, buildings, and water systems, along with surveying land and managing environmental impacts. This co-op stream requires you to complete mandatory work terms alongside your coursework, alternating between classroom and real engineering jobs. It suits students who want practical hands-on experience while earning, and who are comfortable balancing study and full-time work over five years instead of four.	This program teaches you to design, build, and maintain automated systems that control machines and processes in factories, utilities, and other industries. Unlike a general engineering degree, it focuses specifically on the practical skills and hands-on work needed to implement automation rather than the deep theory behind it. It suits students who want to solve real problems with machinery and electronics and prefer learning by doing alongside classroom study.
