What it isTrackOne 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.You study how to apply engineering and chemistry to solve biological and medical problems, like designing artificial organs, improving drug delivery, or creating medical devices. Unlike a general engineering program, this one focuses specifically on the life sciences side of engineering from the start. The co-op option lets you work terms at hospitals, biotech companies, or medical device manufacturers alongside your courses. This suits you if you're interested in both the technical side of engineering and direct work in healthcare or biotechnology.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.
