| What it is | You study how living cells work at the molecular level and how to use that knowledge to develop new medicines, materials, and industrial processes. This program combines pure chemistry with applied biotechnology, so you spend time both in theory and on practical applications that companies actually use. It includes a required co-op work term, giving you real workplace experience alongside your coursework. This suits students who want hands-on lab work and are curious about bridging basic science with real-world problem-solving. | You study how cars and vehicles are designed, built, and manufactured, combining mechanical engineering with hands-on problem-solving. The co-op version requires you to complete paid work terms at engineering companies alongside your classroom learning, giving you real industry experience before you graduate. This program suits students who want practical engineering skills and are willing to extend their studies to fit in work semesters. | You study how to design, build, and improve machines and mechanical systems — engines, pumps, robots, and similar equipment — using physics and mathematics. This program includes a co-op component, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at engineering companies, giving you real-world experience alongside your degree. It suits students who enjoy solving practical problems, like how things work and why they fail, and who want hands-on learning combined with classroom theory. |
