What it is	Industrial Design teaches you how to plan and shape physical products — from phones to furniture to medical devices — so they work well, look good, and can actually be made. You'll combine design thinking with engineering and manufacturing knowledge to understand both the creative and practical sides of bringing products to life. The co-op term lets you work in industry while you study, so you apply what you learn to real projects.	You study core business topics — accounting, finance, marketing, organizational behaviour — alongside specialized management courses that prepare you to lead teams and make strategic decisions. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you professional experience alongside your degree. This suits people who want hands-on business training and either prefer to earn while studying or want to test different industries before graduating.	You learn to design and code video games, combining programming skills with game design and storytelling. This program emphasizes building complete games from concept to finished product, rather than studying general computer science. It suits people who want to work in the game industry and have both technical problem-solving skills and creative ideas.
