What you study	Chemical Engineering Chemistry General or Integrated Engineering	Artificial Intelligence Computer Engineering General or Integrated Engineering
What it is	You study how to design and operate chemical processes that transform raw materials into useful products — everything from pharmaceuticals to plastics to fuels. Chemical engineering combines chemistry, physics, and math to solve real industrial problems at scale. The co-op stream lets you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you direct experience in the field while you study.	You study how to design and build intelligent computer systems that can learn and make decisions, combining electrical engineering, software, and AI principles. The engineering and management option adds business and leadership courses alongside the technical work, preparing you for roles managing engineering teams or projects. This program includes co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom and paid industry experience. It suits students who want hands-on engineering training with real-world application and are comfortable with rigorous math and physics foundations.
