What it is	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.	You study engineering applied to living systems and medical materials — how to design devices, implants, and materials that work safely inside the human body. Unlike a standard biomedical engineering program, this integrated stream combines materials science throughout, so you learn both the engineering principles and the chemistry of the materials themselves. It suits students drawn to both the biological sciences and engineering problem-solving who want hands-on experience through required co-op terms.
