| 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. | Nanotechnology Engineering is the study of designing and building materials and devices at the molecular and atomic scale, combining chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering. Unlike a general engineering program, this one requires you to complete mandatory work terms alongside your studies, alternating between classroom and industry jobs so you graduate with significant hands-on experience. It suits students strong in math and sciences who want practical engineering experience and are interested in how materials behave at extremely small scales. | You study how to design and build medical devices and equipment that help diagnose and treat disease. This blends biology and engineering, so you learn both how the human body works and how to create machines and systems that interact with it. The co-op stream lets you alternate between classroom study and paid work terms at hospitals, medical companies, or research labs, giving you real hands-on experience before you graduate. This program suits students who want to apply engineering skills to healthcare and prefer learning through workplace projects alongside their coursework. |
