What it isThis program teaches you how to improve health at the population level by studying disease prevention, health policy, and data systems. You'll learn to analyse health trends, design public health programs, and use technology to track and manage health outcomes. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom study and paid work placements in real health organizations, giving you direct experience in the field and making it suit students who want hands-on learning alongside theory.This program teaches you to design, build, and maintain automated systems that control machines and processes in factories, utilities, and other industries. Unlike a general engineering degree, it focuses specifically on the practical skills and hands-on work needed to implement automation rather than the deep theory behind it. It suits students who want to solve real problems with machinery and electronics and prefer learning by doing alongside classroom study.
