Bachelor of Applied Science in Mechatronics Engineering (Co-op)

University of Waterloo

From autonomous vehicles and drones to 3D printers and robotics, you’ll learn to design the smart electromechanical systems powering today’s most exciting technologies. In the first program of its kind in Canada, you’ll dive deep into mechanical design, control systems, programming, and sensor technology, gaining the skills to create machines that can think, sense, and move on their own. But it’s not just theoryyou’ll get hands on experience building real devices, solving real problems, and pushing the boundaries of what technology can achieve. With access to cutting edge labs and tools, two years of paid co op work experience in leading industries, you’ll explore different career paths, develop valuable skills, and build a professional network before you even graduate. By the time you graduate, you’ll be ready to innovate and lead in exciting fields such as robotics, aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing, designing the intelligent machines that will shape the future.
