What it is	Energy Engineering teaches you how to design, build, and manage systems that generate, distribute, and use energy efficiently and sustainably. You study thermodynamics, power generation, renewable energy, and electrical systems alongside engineering fundamentals. The BEng&Mgt option adds business and management courses so you can move into planning or leadership roles, whereas the straight BEng focuses entirely on technical engineering skills. This program suits people who want to solve real problems in energy while building hands-on experience through paid work terms.	Mechanical Engineering (Co-op) teaches you how to design, build, and improve machines and mechanical systems, from engines to robots. Unlike the standard degree, you alternate between semesters of classroom learning and paid work terms at engineering companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. This program suits students who want hands-on problem-solving skills and a clearer sense of what engineering work actually involves.	Engineering at Western teaches you to design and build solutions to practical problems using mathematics, science, and materials. You choose a specialization like software, mechanical, civil, or chemical engineering, or study general engineering first before deciding. The program includes co-op work terms, so you alternate between classes and paid jobs with employers, giving you real experience alongside your degree.	You study mechanical engineering and computer science together over five years, combining courses in machine design, systems, and programming. Unlike separate degrees in each field, you learn how they integrate — for instance, designing machines controlled by software. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms in engineering or tech companies. This suits people drawn to both the physical and computational sides of building things.
