| What it is | You study how to design, build, and maintain infrastructure like roads, bridges, buildings, and water systems. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work at engineering firms, giving you real project experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want hands-on problem-solving in construction and infrastructure and are ready to balance coursework with workplace learning. | You study how to design and build solutions to environmental problems using engineering tools and methods. This program combines traditional engineering disciplines like civil and mining with environmental science, so you learn both the technical skills and the ecological knowledge needed to tackle issues like water quality, land use, and resource extraction. It suits people who want to solve real-world environmental challenges through hands-on engineering work rather than pure science or policy analysis, and the built-in co-op terms let you test that fit in actual workplaces. | Environmental Engineering combines math, chemistry, physics, and biology to solve real-world problems like water treatment, air quality, and waste management. Unlike a pure science degree, you learn engineering design and practical problem-solving alongside the science fundamentals. The program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you gain industry experience while studying. This suits students who want to apply science to environmental challenges and prefer hands-on learning alongside classroom work. |
