What it is	Mechanical Engineering (Co-op) teaches you how to design, build, and improve machines and mechanical systems, from engines to robots. Unlike the standard degree, you alternate between semesters of classroom learning and paid work terms at engineering companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. This program suits students who want hands-on problem-solving skills and a clearer sense of what engineering work actually involves.	Commerce is a broad business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, management, and related topics. You choose a concentration like accounting or finance to specialize, rather than studying one narrow area. It suits people interested in business fundamentals and real-world work experience, since the program includes optional co-op placements that let you alternate between classes and paid jobs in your field.
