What it is	Electrical Engineering (Co-op) teaches you to design, build, and troubleshoot electrical systems and devices, from power generation to electronics and communications. The co-op option requires you to complete paid work terms at engineering companies alongside your studies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. The Engineering & Management stream adds business and management courses if you want to lead technical teams or projects later. This program suits students comfortable with mathematics and physics who want hands-on experience in industry while studying.	Computer Science at Western teaches you how to write programs, build software systems, and solve problems using computers and code. You choose a focus — such as game development, managing information systems, or engineering robust software — based on your interests. The program includes paid work terms alongside your studies, letting you apply classroom learning in real jobs and build professional experience before you graduate.	This program teaches you how to start and run your own business, covering finance, marketing, operations, and strategy. Unlike a general commerce degree, entrepreneurship focuses specifically on launching ventures and solving business problems from scratch. A co-op option lets you work at companies between semesters, while a French immersion stream teaches courses in French. It suits people who want to understand business fundamentals but are drawn to creating something new rather than managing existing organizations.
