What it is	General Engineering is a broad first-year program that covers the fundamental principles of engineering — mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science — without specializing in one branch like civil or mechanical. After first year, you choose a specific engineering discipline to focus on. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms with engineering employers, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. This program suits students interested in engineering but unsure which specialty appeals to them, or those who want to build practical skills alongside their degree.	This double degree program combines chemical engineering and computer science over five years. You study how to design chemical processes and systems alongside programming, software development, and computing theory — giving you expertise in both fields rather than choosing one. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms at engineering firms. It suits students who want a broader technical foundation and don't mind the longer timeline and work-study schedule.	You study both music and computer science as a full double degree, earning separate BA and BSc credentials in five years instead of doing them sequentially. This combines technical programming and software skills with music theory, performance, composition, or musicology depending on your choices. It suits people who are genuinely strong in both fields and want depth in each rather than a minor, and who have the stamina for a demanding combined workload.
