What it is	Engineering is a four-year degree in applied science and problem-solving, with seven specializations: civil, computer, electronic and electrical, geomatics, mechanical, software, and space. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at engineering firms, giving you real experience before you graduate. It suits people who want hands-on technical training, enjoy math and physics, and prefer learning through doing alongside theory.	Mechatronics engineering combines mechanical, electrical, and AI systems into machines that think and move — think robots, automated manufacturing, or smart devices. This co-op program alternates between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, so you graduate with real engineering experience alongside your degree. The management option adds business and leadership courses if you want to move toward supervising projects or running operations. This suits people who want hands-on problem-solving, like learning by doing, and are ready to commit to work-study scheduling.	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.	Engineering I – Discovery Track lets you explore multiple engineering specializations during your first year before committing to a specific stream like chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, or software engineering. You can also choose to combine engineering with management or social studies. The co-op option means you'll alternate between classroom and paid work terms, giving you real experience in the field while studying.
