TrackOne is an undeclared first year designed for students interested in exploring all fields of engineering before joining a Core 8 program in second year.

Students in this program spend their first year taking a wide range of courses. This approach helps you discover your interests within U of T Engineering while developing a strong foundation in key engineering principles. After successfully completing TrackOne, you are guaranteed\* a spot in the Core 8 program of your choice — Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Industrial, Materials, Mechanical or Mineral — for the remaining three years of your BASc degree.

## Helping You Decide

The Introduction to Engineering course explores **how each engineering field contributes to society**, helping you choose your best fit within the Core 8 programs at the end of first year. Support from a dedicated TrackOne advisor will also help you with your decision.

The TrackOne curriculum is designed to parallel the courses taken by first-year students in the Core 8 programs. This allows TrackOne students to transition smoothly into second year.

## TRACKONE, UNDECLARED ALUMNI PROFILE

## Sofia Mazzonna

---

### **Year of Study:**

Third Year

### **Fun Fact:**

Sofia has been part of the Blue & Gold Committee since first year. This Skule™ spirit committee organizes unique annual events, coordinates large community builds (like designing an impressive float for the annual Pride Parade in Toronto) and manages a library of tools and resources for engineering students. Before joining U of T Engineering, Sofia hadn’t used a power drill before. Now she teaches others to use a variety of power tools.

### **Life after TrackOne:**

At the end of first year, Sofia chose to pursue the rest of her degree in computer engineering. Now heading into third year, she hopes to land a co-op position in the tech industry.

> “Being in TrackOne gave me the opportunity to hear from upper-year students and professors about each discipline. I was also able to explore different disciplines through my courses. These things helped me make an informed decision on which program was right for me.”
