Your highest listed choice is considered first when you indicate more than 1 Brock program on your application. If you are not eligible for your first choice, your subsequent choices will be considered in your indicated order of preference. In most cases: If you apply to only 1 Brock program but do not qualify, you will be considered for an alternative or related program. If you apply but are not admitted to a co-op program, you will automatically be considered for the regular, non-co-op program.

What it is	You study how to design, build, and improve cars and vehicles, combining mechanical systems, electrical components, and manufacturing processes. The BEng&Mgt option adds business and management courses so you can move into leadership roles, whereas the standard BEng keeps the focus on engineering. This program includes co-op work terms where you work at automotive companies, suiting students who want hands-on industry experience alongside their degree.	This program combines electrical engineering with computer science, so you study both how to design electrical systems and how to write software that controls them. Unlike a single engineering degree, you earn two degrees in five years by taking courses in both fields simultaneously. It suits students who want flexibility across hardware and software rather than committing to just one discipline, and who are willing to spread their study over an extra year to do both.	You study how to use data and statistical tools to solve problems in finance and banking. The program combines computer science, mathematics, and finance, so you learn to build models and analyze trends rather than just learning finance theory or coding separately. It includes paid work terms with employers, giving you real experience before you graduate. This suits people who want a technical, analytical career in financial institutions or companies that rely on data to make decisions.	This program teaches you to design and build complex systems — often combining software, hardware, human behaviour, and business — that solve real-world problems. Unlike a traditional engineering program focused on one discipline, it blends computer science, design thinking, and management so you learn how systems work across multiple fields. It suits students who want engineering skills but prefer understanding how all the pieces fit together and spending time working in industry during their degree.
