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.	Mechatronic Systems Engineering teaches you how to design and build machines and devices that combine mechanical parts, electrical systems, and computer control. Unlike a pure mechanical or electrical engineering program, this one focuses on how all three work together — think robots, manufacturing equipment, or automated systems. It suits people who like hands-on problem-solving and want to work across mechanical, electrical, and software domains, and includes work experience through co-op placements.	Mechanical Engineering teaches you to design, build, and improve machines and systems, from engines to robots. The Management option adds business and leadership courses alongside engineering, preparing you to lead projects and teams rather than focus purely on technical design. This program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom and paid on-the-job experience with employers. It suits people who enjoy solving physical problems with math and physics, and want hands-on learning combined with real workplace exposure.
