Description:

Prepare for in-demand careers at the intersection of mechanical systems, electronics and software. This program combines hands-on, experiential learning with a strong foundation in mathematics, science, and specialized skills in mechanical, electrical and computer engineering. Graduates will enter the workforce with the skills and experience to analyze, design, and debug complex mechatronic and robotic systems and be well-prepared for exciting careers in manufacturing, resource management, robotics, logistics, automation, heavy industries, and more.

This degree must be taken as a Co-op (co-operative education) program. Through the Co-op program, you will have the opportunity to complete paid, supervised work terms throughout your degree. Co-op programs are a great way to challenge yourself, gain relevant work experience, and make connections to industry before you graduate!

Most co-op programs include five work terms lasting four months each, in addition to the usual eight terms (four years) of full-time study. Therefore, co-op programs require five years to complete.
