What it is	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.	Health Sciences is a broad program where you study how human health works, from biology and chemistry to technology and data systems used in medicine and healthcare. It's wider than a specialized nursing or medical lab program because you explore multiple health-related fields rather than training for one specific healthcare job. It suits students curious about science and health who want options to specialize later or move toward healthcare careers beyond direct patient care.	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.
