What it is	You study how to design and build computer software and systems from the ground up, combining computer science theory with practical engineering problem-solving. This is more applied and hardware-focused than a pure computer science degree, and the co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms with employers. It suits people who want hands-on experience in real jobs while learning, and who prefer the structured engineering approach to software development.	Energy Engineering focuses on designing, building, and managing systems that generate, store, and distribute power — from fossil fuels and nuclear reactors to solar and wind. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at energy companies, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree. The Management option adds business and leadership courses if you want to move toward supervisory or corporate roles. This program suits people who want hands-on engineering work combined with workplace learning and eventual responsibility for large-scale energy projects.	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.
