What it is	Mechatronics Engineering combines mechanical systems, electrical circuits, and computer control into one program. You learn to design and build machines that think and respond — robots, automated factories, smart devices — by integrating mechanics, electronics, and software. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies using these skills, so you graduate with real industry experience.	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.	You study business fundamentals — accounting, finance, marketing, management, and human resources — while earning a degree from both University of Ottawa and a partner institution abroad. The dual degree means you spend time at two universities and graduate with credentials from both, giving you international experience and exposure to different business practices. This suits students who want a business foundation with global perspective and the opportunity to study and work in another country.
