What it is	Computer Engineering teaches you to design and build computing systems, from the hardware circuits inside devices to the software that runs on them. Unlike pure computer science programs, you study electrical engineering alongside programming, so you learn how computers actually work at a physical level. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real industry experience. This program suits people who want hands-on problem-solving across both hardware and software, and who value learning through workplace projects.	You study how to design and operate chemical processes that transform raw materials into useful products — everything from pharmaceuticals to plastics to fuels. Chemical engineering combines chemistry, physics, and math to solve real industrial problems at scale. The co-op stream lets you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you direct experience in the field while you study.	You study how to design systems and structures that protect the environment and manage natural resources — combining biology, chemistry, civil engineering, and earth science. Unlike a general engineering program, this one focuses specifically on water treatment, waste management, air quality, and land remediation. It suits students who want to solve real environmental problems with engineering tools and are willing to do mandatory work terms alongside their studies.
