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 how to design, build, and improve machines and mechanical systems, from engines to robots to aircraft parts. Direct entry means you skip the general first year and go straight into mechanical engineering courses — you don't have to apply again after finishing a foundation year. The program includes a mandatory co-op work term where you spend a semester working in industry. It suits students who know they want mechanical engineering, are strong in math and physics, and want to gain real workplace experience while studying.	Smith Engineering's common first year means you take the same core courses as all engineering students — math, physics, chemistry, and engineering fundamentals — before choosing a specialization like mechanical, civil, chemical, or aerospace engineering in second year. This delays your choice, letting you explore different engineering fields before committing. It suits students who know they want engineering but are unsure which branch fits them best.
