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 systems with electronics and computer control to design machines and devices that think and move. You'll learn how robots, automated equipment, and smart machines work by studying mechanics, electrical circuits, and artificial intelligence together rather than separately. The management stream adds business courses if you want to lead technical teams; the co-op option lets you work semesters in industry. This suits people who want hands-on problem-solving across multiple disciplines and enjoy building things that integrate hardware and software.	In your first year, you take core math, physics, chemistry, and engineering courses alongside introductory modules in civil, computer, electrical, mechanical, software, and space engineering. This gives you time to explore which engineering discipline suits you before specializing in upper years. The program includes paid work terms, alternating with school, so you gain industry experience while studying.	Mechatronics engineering combines mechanical systems, electronics, and computer control to design machines and devices that think and move. You'll study how motors, sensors, and software work together in everything from robots to medical equipment. The co-op option lets you alternate between study terms and paid work terms, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree.
