What it is	Pre-Engineering is a one-year program that strengthens your math and science foundations before you move into a specialized engineering degree. You'll take courses in chemistry, physics, and advanced mathematics to prepare for civil, mechanical, electrical, or general engineering programs. It's designed for students who want to study engineering but need to build up their technical skills first.	You study how mechanical systems, computers, and biological science work together to solve medical problems, combining engineering design with biotechnology and programming. Unlike a single engineering degree, this double degree lets you earn two credentials in five years by integrating these three fields from the start rather than taking them separately. It suits students who want to design medical devices, prosthetics, or diagnostic equipment and are comfortable working across biology, mechanics, and software simultaneously.	Engineering is a four-year degree in applied science and problem-solving, with seven specializations: civil, computer, electronic and electrical, geomatics, mechanical, software, and space. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at engineering firms, giving you real experience before you graduate. It suits people who want hands-on technical training, enjoy math and physics, and prefer learning through doing alongside theory.
