What you study	Computer Science	Artificial Intelligence Computer Engineering General or Integrated Engineering
What it is	Data science combines statistics, programming, and practical problem-solving to extract useful information from large sets of data. You'll learn to write code, build mathematical models, and communicate what the data reveals to non-technical people. This program suits students who enjoy both math and computer science and want to apply technical skills to real-world questions across business, health, science, and other fields.	Artificial Intelligence Engineering teaches you how to design systems and machines that can learn and make decisions like humans do, combining computer hardware, software, and AI techniques. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, so you build real engineering experience while studying. The Management option adds business and leadership courses alongside the engineering core. This program suits students who want hands-on engineering work with AI technology and value learning in a workplace setting.
