What you study	General or Integrated Engineering Software Engineering	Computer Animation and Visual Effects Computer Games Design
What it is	Internet of Things is a program where you learn to design and program connected devices and systems that collect and share data — like sensors, smart home equipment, or industrial monitoring tools. You study both the hardware engineering and software needed to make these systems work together. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom study and paid work terms at companies, giving you real experience before you graduate; the Management stream adds business and leadership courses if you want a path toward supervising teams or projects.	This program teaches you how to create digital content across animation, game design, and visual media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical skills with creative and design thinking. It suits people who want to build things that people see and interact with, rather than work mainly on backend systems or theory.
