What it is	This program teaches you how to create digital content across animation, game design, and visual media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical skills with creative and design thinking. It suits people who want to build things that people see and interact with, rather than work mainly on backend systems or theory.	General Engineering is a broad first-year program that covers the fundamental principles of engineering — mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science — without specializing in one branch like civil or mechanical. After first year, you choose a specific engineering discipline to focus on. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms with engineering employers, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. This program suits students interested in engineering but unsure which specialty appeals to them, or those who want to build practical skills alongside their degree.	You study computer science and mathematics together, learning to solve problems by combining coding skills with advanced mathematical theory. Unlike a regular computer science program, you're required to complete paid work terms with employers throughout your degree, giving you real professional experience alongside your studies. This suits students who want technical depth, enjoy both abstract math and practical programming, and prefer to earn money and build their resume while studying.
