What it isMechanical Engineering teaches you to design, build, and improve machines and systems, from engines to robots. The Management option adds business and leadership courses alongside engineering, preparing you to lead projects and teams rather than focus purely on technical design. This program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom and paid on-the-job experience with employers. It suits people who enjoy solving physical problems with math and physics, and want hands-on learning combined with real workplace exposure.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.You study the design, development, and theory behind computer programs and systems — from artificial intelligence and game design to information management. This program lets you do paid work terms with employers alongside your classes, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. It suits students who want hands-on industry experience early and are curious about how software and systems actually work in practice.This program lets you study mathematics while choosing how to apply it — through business, economics, statistics, artificial intelligence, or education. Unlike a pure mathematics degree, you're expected to connect mathematical theory to real-world problems in fields like finance, operations, or data analysis. It suits students who enjoy math but want flexibility to explore where it leads them, rather than committing to one specialty upfront.
