What it is	Artificial Intelligence Engineering teaches you how to design systems and machines that can learn and make decisions like humans do, combining computer hardware, software, and AI techniques. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, so you build real engineering experience while studying. The Management option adds business and leadership courses alongside the engineering core. This program suits students who want hands-on engineering work with AI technology and value learning in a workplace setting.	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.	Mechatronics engineering combines mechanical systems, electronics, and computer control to design machines and devices that think and move. You'll study how motors, sensors, and software work together in everything from robots to medical equipment. The co-op option lets you alternate between study terms and paid work terms, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree.
