What it is	You study how to design outdoor spaces — parks, gardens, campuses, streetscapes — combining art, ecology, and practical building knowledge. Unlike general design programs, landscape architecture focuses specifically on outdoor environments and includes technical skills in grading, drainage, and site planning. It suits people who want to solve real problems through design and enjoy working both creatively and analytically with land and plants.	Mechanical Engineering teaches you to design, build, and improve machines and mechanical systems — everything from engines to robots to manufacturing equipment. You'll study physics, materials, thermodynamics, and how to turn ideas into working products. This program includes a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid engineering jobs at real companies, giving you hands-on experience before you graduate. It suits people who like solving practical problems, enjoy math and physics, and want to see their ideas come to life.	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, software, and artificial intelligence to design machines that think and act on their own. Unlike a traditional engineering program, this one requires you to complete paid work terms alternating with school, giving you real industry experience building the robots and automated systems you study in class. It suits people who want hands-on problem-solving across multiple engineering disciplines and are ready to balance studies with work semesters.
