What you study	General or Integrated Engineering Management	Architecture Design
What it is	Energy Engineering focuses on designing, building, and managing systems that generate, store, and distribute power — from fossil fuels and nuclear reactors to solar and wind. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at energy companies, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree. The Management option adds business and leadership courses if you want to move toward supervisory or corporate roles. This program suits people who want hands-on engineering work combined with workplace learning and eventual responsibility for large-scale energy projects.	You study the creative and technical side of designing buildings and spaces, learning to sketch ideas, understand how structures work, and use design software. This program includes mandatory work terms where you apply classroom learning to real projects with architecture and design firms. It suits people who enjoy solving visual problems, thinking in three dimensions, and want hands-on experience before committing to a full architecture degree.
