What you study	Civil Engineering General or Integrated Engineering	Computer Games Design General or Integrated Engineering Information Systems
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.	Industrial design is the practice of creating products and objects that people use every day — from furniture and tools to consumer electronics — by combining aesthetics, function, and how they're actually made. You'll learn to sketch, model, and prototype while understanding materials, manufacturing, and user needs. This program suits people who enjoy solving practical problems visually and want to bridge the gap between art and engineering.
