What it isArchitectural Studies teaches you how to design buildings and spaces, from sketching initial ideas to understanding how they're built and function. This program includes paid work terms where you apply what you're learning at real architecture firms alongside your classroom studies. It suits students who combine creative design thinking with interest in how buildings work technically and who want practical experience before or alongside their formal studies.You study how to design, build, and improve cars and vehicles, combining mechanical systems, electrical components, and manufacturing processes. The BEng&Mgt option adds business and management courses so you can move into leadership roles, whereas the standard BEng keeps the focus on engineering. This program includes co-op work terms where you work at automotive companies, suiting students who want hands-on industry experience alongside their degree.Mechatronic Systems Engineering teaches you how to design and build machines and devices that combine mechanical parts, electrical systems, and computer control. Unlike a pure mechanical or electrical engineering program, this one focuses on how all three work together — think robots, manufacturing equipment, or automated systems. It suits people who like hands-on problem-solving and want to work across mechanical, electrical, and software domains, and includes work experience through co-op placements.
