What it is	Comprehensive Engineering is a four-year engineering degree where you choose a specialization in areas like software, mechanical, electrical, or manufacturing engineering. The BEng&Mgt option pairs your engineering degree with business and management courses, preparing you to lead technical projects or move into management roles. This program suits students who want hands-on problem-solving in engineering fields and are deciding between practical specializations or combining technical expertise with business skills.	Chemical Engineering combines chemistry, physics, and industrial processes to design and operate systems that transform raw materials into useful products. This co-op stream makes it mandatory to alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real engineering experience alongside your studies. The program suits people who want hands-on learning in a technical field and are comfortable with intensive math and science courses.
