What it is	Artificial Intelligence is the study of how to design computer systems that can learn, make decisions, and solve problems with minimal human instruction. This program embeds four paid work terms throughout your degree, alternating with school terms, so you gain industry experience while learning theory. It suits students who want hands-on experience alongside rigorous training in machine learning, data analysis, and intelligent systems, and who are ready to balance classroom study with workplace responsibilities.	Industrial Design teaches you how to plan and shape physical products — from phones to furniture to medical devices — so they work well, look good, and can actually be made. You'll combine design thinking with engineering and manufacturing knowledge to understand both the creative and practical sides of bringing products to life. The co-op term lets you work in industry while you study, so you apply what you learn to real projects.	You study computer science and design together in a hands-on, project-based way rather than as separate subjects. The program emphasizes learning through real problems and experimentation, so you'll build working projects alongside traditional coursework. This suits people who want to understand how technology and design connect and prefer learning by doing.	You study design across multiple disciplines, blending computer science, visual and product design, and hands-on problem-solving. Unlike a single-discipline design program, this approach lets you explore how technology, creativity, and practical application intersect in real projects. It suits people who want to design solutions but aren't sure whether they lean toward coding, visual work, or engineering, and who learn best by doing.
