What it is	This program combines the study of how people create, share, and interpret information across media and cultures. You'll choose from areas like creative writing, media studies, publishing, and information technology, rather than specializing in just one. The co-op option lets you work in communications or tech roles while you study, which suits people who want real-world experience alongside their degree and flexibility in choosing which communication field interests them most.	Mechanical Engineering (Co-op) teaches you how to design, build, and improve machines and mechanical systems, from engines to robots. Unlike the standard degree, you alternate between semesters of classroom learning and paid work terms at engineering companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. This program suits students who want hands-on problem-solving skills and a clearer sense of what engineering work actually involves.	You study how to design, build, and improve cars and vehicles, combining mechanical systems, electrical components, and manufacturing processes. The BEng&Mgt option adds business and management courses so you can move into leadership roles, whereas the standard BEng keeps the focus on engineering. This program includes co-op work terms where you work at automotive companies, suiting students who want hands-on industry experience alongside their degree.
