Year 1

Below briefly describes the courses Engineering Science students will take in their first year of studies. For complete descriptions, click here.

Fall Semester

Structures and Materials introduces properties of various structures and materials, as well as their use.
Praxis I gets students to address on-campus design challenges through hands-on activities and presentations.
Classical Mechanics gives an understanding of Newtonian mechanics, and considers the interactions which influence motion in terms of force, momentum and energy. **Includes Labs**
Engineering Mathematics and Computation bridges high school and university mathematics, and makes connections to the “engineering point of view.”
Calculus I is the first course in a series of calculus courses found in the first 2 years, and includes theory and application of differential and integral calculus.
Computer Programming, offered at both an introductory and advanced level, provides a well-rounded understanding of programming theory and application.

Molecules and Materials provides fundamentals of molecular chemistry as it relates to the properties of materials.
Linear Algebra provides an understanding of linear systems and matrix algebra and their applications in engineering.
Calculus II, a continuation from the course in first semester, offers a more advanced exploration into the subject, including complex functions and partial derivatives.
Electric Circuits focuses on the theory and application of electric circuits. **Includes Labs**
Computer Programming, if the curriculum is not fully covered during first semester. If it is, students are allowed to take a free elective.
Praxis II gets students to address design challenges facing the City of Toronto through hands-on activities and presentations.
