Bachelor of Applied Science in Mechatronics Engineering

Mechatronics engineering is the design of computer-controlled electromechanical systems. The essence of it is that the design of the mechanical system must be performed together with the design of the electrical/electronic and computer control aspects that together, comprise a complete system.Some examples of mechatronic systems include: a CD or DVD player, a computer hard disc drive, a fly-by-wire aircraft control system, and an anti-lock braking system (ABS). Each of these products is essentially mechanical in nature, but could not function without the integral design of the electrical and computer control systems that are critical to their operation. The mechatronics program at the University of Waterloo is administered by the department of mechanical and mechatronics engineering. The courses taken in the mechatronics program differ significantly from those taken in the mechanical engineering program.Half of the second and third-year courses in mechatronics are provided by the systems design engineering and electrical and computer engineering departments. This makes the mechatronics program ideal for students seeking a broad, interdisciplinary engineering education that is highly integrated and focussed.

From the ATM down the street to the drone that will one day deliver your pizza, computer-controlled electromechanical systems drive all kinds of technology. Learn to design those systems in Waterloo?s Mechatronics Engineering program ? the first of its kind in Canada and one of the top 100 in the world (Shanghai World University Rankings 2020). You?ll develop expertise in mechanical engineering, electronics, control engineering, and computer science, pulling together know-how from these different fields to develop sophisticated machines. During your co-op terms, you?ll have the chance to try out different career paths, earn money to pay for your education, and build a r?sum? guaranteed to impress potential employers.
