What it is	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.	You learn to design and code video games, combining programming skills with game design and storytelling. This program emphasizes building complete games from concept to finished product, rather than studying general computer science. It suits people who want to work in the game industry and have both technical problem-solving skills and creative ideas.	You study how to create video games from start to finish, learning programming, visual design, animation, sound, and storytelling. Unlike a pure computer science degree, this program balances technical skills with creative and business thinking, so you learn game engines, art, and how to actually launch a game. It suits people who want hands-on work making games rather than working only on backend code or studying game theory in isolation.
