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.	This program combines computer science, design, and visual storytelling to teach you how to create digital content like animated films, video games, and interactive media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical coding skills with creative design and artistic principles. It suits people who want to build things on screen and understand both the programming and visual art sides of digital production.
