| What it is | In your first semester, you take core engineering courses in math, physics, and design while exploring different engineering specializations — aerospace, chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, software, and manufacturing. You won't choose your specific engineering stream until after first semester, letting you test what each field actually involves before committing. This suits students who are confident they want engineering but unsure which branch matches their interests and strengths. | 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. | Mechanical Engineering teaches you to design, build, and improve machines and mechanical systems — everything from engines to robots to manufacturing equipment. You'll study physics, materials, thermodynamics, and how to turn ideas into working products. This program includes a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid engineering jobs at real companies, giving you hands-on experience before you graduate. It suits people who like solving practical problems, enjoy math and physics, and want to see their ideas come to life. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
