What you study	General or Integrated Engineering Management Mechanical Engineering Production & Manufacturing Engineering	Environmental Studies Geology Molecular Biology, Biochemistry Others in Physical Sciences
What it is	You study how cars and vehicles are designed, built, and manufactured, combining mechanical engineering with hands-on problem-solving. The co-op version requires you to complete paid work terms at engineering companies alongside your classroom learning, giving you real industry experience before you graduate. This program suits students who want practical engineering skills and are willing to extend their studies to fit in work semesters.	A Science Major is a four-year degree where you study one science subject deeply — such as physics, biology, geology, or environmental science — along with complementary courses in math and other sciences. It differs from a specialized honours program in that you focus on breadth within your chosen field rather than pursuing a single narrow specialization. This program suits students who want solid grounding in a science discipline without committing to professional training like engineering or medicine.
