Students in this pathway have an interest in understanding how the world works and with our rapidly improving technologies, there are always new boundaries to push and something new to learn. As a result, technologies we can barely dream of today will be the reality ten years from now and science and engineering students will be on the leading edge of those changes.
If you are curious, intuitive and logical with a good memory and the ability to make assumptions based on data, science and engineering may be a good pathway for you. For many careers in this area, a four-year degree is required.
