What it is	Génie électrique (Electrical Engineering) teaches you how to design, build, and troubleshoot systems that generate, transmit, and use electrical power and signals — from power grids to electronics. This is a four-year engineering program with mandatory co-op placements, meaning you alternate between studying on campus and working in industry, giving you real hands-on experience alongside theory. It suits students who enjoy physics and mathematics, want practical engineering skills, and value learning through workplace projects.	Commerce is a broad business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, management, and related topics. You choose a concentration like accounting or finance to specialize, rather than studying one narrow area. It suits people interested in business fundamentals and real-world work experience, since the program includes optional co-op placements that let you alternate between classes and paid jobs in your field.
