What you study	Biotechnology Chemistry	General or Integrated Engineering Mechanical Engineering	Electronic & Electrical Engineering General or Integrated Engineering Management Mechanical Engineering
What it is	You study how living cells work at the molecular level and how to use that knowledge to develop new medicines, materials, and industrial processes. This program combines pure chemistry with applied biotechnology, so you spend time both in theory and on practical applications that companies actually use. It includes a required co-op work term, giving you real workplace experience alongside your coursework. This suits students who want hands-on lab work and are curious about bridging basic science with real-world problem-solving.	You study how to design, build, and improve machines and mechanical systems — engines, pumps, robots, and similar equipment — using physics and mathematics. This program includes a co-op component, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at engineering companies, giving you real-world experience alongside your degree. It suits students who enjoy solving practical problems, like how things work and why they fail, and who want hands-on learning combined with classroom theory.	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.
