What you study	General or Integrated Engineering	Civil Engineering Environmental Studies General or Integrated Engineering Geology	Environmental Studies Geology Physical Geography
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 structures and systems that work with geological materials and conditions — things like dams, tunnels, foundations, and mines. Unlike pure geology, you learn practical engineering design and problem-solving alongside earth science. The co-op requirement means you alternate between school and paid work terms at engineering firms, which is how you gain hands-on experience before graduating. This program suits people who want to combine science with engineering and need real-world workplace experience built into their degree.	Environmental Science is the study of how natural systems — including geology, weather patterns, and ecosystems — work and how human activities affect them. You'll take courses across earth science, geography, and environmental studies to understand environmental problems and solutions. The Co-op version requires you to complete paid work terms at environmental organizations or research facilities alongside your studies, giving you real workplace experience in the field.
