What it is	Honours Integrated Science teaches you how different sciences connect and overlap rather than studying them in separate boxes. You'll take courses across biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and environmental studies, learning how they relate to real problems instead of treating each discipline independently. This suits students who want a flexible foundation in science and aren't certain yet which single specialization they'll pursue.	Mechatronics Engineering combines mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and control systems — you learn to design and build machines that use computers and electronics to operate. This co-op program requires you to alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, giving you real engineering experience before you graduate. It suits students who want hands-on learning, enjoy both mechanical and electrical problem-solving, and are ready to commit to the work-study schedule.	Mechatronics Engineering combines mechanical systems, electrical circuits, and computer control into one program. You learn to design and build machines that think and respond — robots, automated factories, smart devices — by integrating mechanics, electronics, and software. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies using these skills, so you graduate with real industry experience.
