Hi Tania,
Great question! Depending on the type of engineering you may want to do, it could include science classes. For example, if you were interested in studying Biomedical Engineering, you would probably take Biology, Chemistry, and other science classes. You also could choose to major in one of the subjects (which is what you would get your college degree in) and take other classes that interest you, that don't go towards your major. For example, you could major in Engineering and take Environmental Science classes in addition. I guess my main point is that you don't have to onoly take classes in the specific major you choose, you will likely have space to take electives and classes that are interesting to you, outside of your major. I hope this is helpful! Good luck planning. :)

It depends on the University courses structure. Some universities offer double major courses, i.e. you can take both engineering and science subjects as majors. Alternatively, you can can choose one as a major and the other one as minor.
Both engineering and science have a lot of different subjects (streams). For the time being, you can explore more to determine which one you have biggest interest.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
