What it is	You study how to design, build, and troubleshoot electrical systems and devices — from power grids and motors to circuits and communications equipment. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real engineering experience before you graduate. This program suits students who want hands-on problem-solving skills and prefer learning through both theory and workplace application.	Engineering is a four-year degree in applied science and problem-solving, with seven specializations: civil, computer, electronic and electrical, geomatics, mechanical, software, and space. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at engineering firms, giving you real experience before you graduate. It suits people who want hands-on technical training, enjoy math and physics, and prefer learning through doing alongside theory.
