What you study	Statistics	General or Integrated Engineering Software Engineering	Artificial Intelligence Chemical Engineering Civil Engineering Electronic & Electrical Engineering
What it is	You study the mathematics of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data to answer questions and solve real-world problems. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms at employers who use statistics, alternating with school semesters, so you can test the work before committing fully. This suits people who want hands-on experience in their field while they learn, or who are still deciding whether applied statistics work appeals to them.	You study how to design, build, and test software systems that solve real problems — the programs and apps that run on computers and devices. The co-op stream requires you to alternate between study terms and paid work terms at software companies, giving you workplace experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want to combine coding and problem-solving skills with practical industry experience before graduating.	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.
