What it is	You study both physics and electrical engineering over five years, earning two degrees and getting deep knowledge of how electricity, circuits, and electromagnetic systems work alongside the math and theory behind them. Unlike a single engineering degree, this double program gives you training in both the fundamental science and the applied engineering side. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms at companies, which suits students who want real-world experience before graduation and are ready for a longer program.	Engineering at Western teaches you to design and build solutions to practical problems using mathematics, science, and materials. You choose a specialization like software, mechanical, civil, or chemical engineering, or study general engineering first before deciding. The program includes co-op work terms, so you alternate between classes and paid jobs with employers, giving you real experience alongside your degree.	Mechatronics Engineering combines mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and control systems — you learn to design and build machines that use computers and electronics to operate. This co-op program requires you to alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, giving you real engineering experience before you graduate. It suits students who want hands-on learning, enjoy both mechanical and electrical problem-solving, and are ready to commit to the work-study schedule.
