What it isYou study electrical engineering with a focus on how to apply it to medical devices and biological systems, like designing pacemakers or diagnostic equipment. This program is more specialized than general electrical engineering because it weaves in molecular biology and biochemistry so you understand the living systems your devices interact with. The co-op option lets you work in medical device companies or hospitals alongside your studies. It suits people who want engineering problem-solving but are drawn to healthcare applications.TrackOne is a first-year engineering program where you take core courses while exploring different engineering specializations before declaring your major. Unlike direct entry into a specific engineering stream, you delay choosing between chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, and other branches until you've tried foundational material in each. It suits students drawn to engineering but uncertain which discipline fits them best, or who want to sample multiple fields before committing.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.
