Also, wouldn't I be able to complete my co-op terms in the summer and thus, complete my Software Engineering & Management degree in 5 years. If I work 4 months
co-op every year, I'd have a total of 16 months of work experience so that would also qualify me to obtain an MBA from DeGrootes in one year. So in 6 years I'll have a B.Eng and an MBA specializing in IT. Would this put me in a good position to become an IT Manager after a few more years of work experience in software companies?
Also, I wanted to ask what advantage does the Engineering and Management program + accelerated MBA offer you over a normal engineering program and full time MBA? Since both would take a total of 6 years..

No misunderstanding.
7.0GPA is very easy. Especially if you want it. 10 is pretty doable if you manage your time successfully. 11 and 12 is doable if you're mentally focused.
Yes. You can do the whole thing in 5, co-op in.
The management program throughout oyur Eng undergrad breaks up your technical courses, rather than lumping your eng courses into 4 years, and then 2 more years after that of pure business. After yo finished 4 years of pure technical education, it takes a unique breed of person to say "I'm going to go back and get another degree!". However, 5 years of combined engineering and business courses is much easier to accomplish, and then you can decide on that 6th year at the end of it (I don't actually know many people that opt to go through with the second degree... Most find jobs and are happy with them... You don't need the MBA to become an IT Manager).
