| What it is | Mechatronics engineering combines mechanical, electrical, and AI systems into machines that think and move — think robots, automated manufacturing, or smart devices. This co-op program alternates between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, so you graduate with real engineering experience alongside your degree. The management option adds business and leadership courses if you want to move toward supervising projects or running operations. This suits people who want hands-on problem-solving, like learning by doing, and are ready to commit to work-study scheduling. | You study computer science and design together in a hands-on, project-based way rather than as separate subjects. The program emphasizes learning through real problems and experimentation, so you'll build working projects alongside traditional coursework. This suits people who want to understand how technology and design connect and prefer learning by doing. | You study how to design and build computer systems, combining software and hardware engineering with applications like artificial intelligence. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, giving you practical experience in industry while you study. It suits students who want hands-on problem-solving in computing and are willing to balance classroom learning with paid work semesters. | You study a specialized branch of engineering — chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, software, or another field — applying math and science to design and build real structures, systems, or software. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at engineering companies, giving you industry experience before you graduate. This program suits students strong in math and physics who want hands-on learning and concrete career preparation. |
