What you study	Nursing	Computer Science General or Integrated Engineering Interdisciplinary Studies Mechanical Engineering	Artificial Intelligence Chemical Engineering Civil Engineering Electronic & Electrical Engineering
What it is	You study nursing, learning how to provide direct patient care, manage health conditions, and work within hospital and community health settings. Unlike a general health sciences program, nursing focuses specifically on clinical skills and the theory of caring for people across their lifespan. This program suits people who want hands-on healthcare work and are comfortable with science and human interaction.	You study both mechanical engineering and computer science together over five years, learning to design machines and systems while also programming and working with software and hardware integration. Unlike doing these as separate degrees, you graduate with credentials in both fields and understand how they work together in modern engineering. This suits students who want to bridge mechanical design with computing, or who are drawn to robotics, automation, and intelligent systems.	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.
