| What it is | You study the science of how food and nutrients affect human health and how to apply that knowledge in real-world settings. Unlike a pure nutrition science program, this applied degree emphasizes practical skills and work in clinical, community, or food service environments. It suits students who want to understand nutrition deeply but prefer hands-on problem-solving over laboratory research. | This program combines mechanical engineering with biomedical applications, so you study how to design and build machines and devices used in medicine and healthcare — from artificial joints to diagnostic equipment. Unlike a straight mechanical engineering degree, you focus on the intersection of mechanics and biology. It suits students who want engineering problem-solving skills but are drawn to healthcare and want to see their work help people directly. | Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and how the body works during physical activity. You learn biology, nutrition, and sport science through lab work and courses. The co-op option lets you alternate school terms with paid work in fitness, rehabilitation, or sports settings, giving you real experience alongside your degree. |
