What it isComputer Science is the study of how to design, build, and improve software and the systems that run it. You learn programming languages, algorithms, data structures, and problem-solving techniques that apply across industries. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you spend time applying what you learn in real jobs alongside classroom study, which sets it apart from a straight academic stream.Mechatronics engineering combines mechanical systems with electronics and computer control to design machines and devices that think and move. You'll learn how robots, automated equipment, and smart machines work by studying mechanics, electrical circuits, and artificial intelligence together rather than separately. The management stream adds business courses if you want to lead technical teams; the co-op option lets you work semesters in industry. This suits people who want hands-on problem-solving across multiple disciplines and enjoy building things that integrate hardware and software.You study a specialized branch of engineering — chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, software, or another field — applying math and science to design and build real structures, systems, or software. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at engineering companies, giving you industry experience before you graduate. This program suits students strong in math and physics who want hands-on learning and concrete career preparation.
