Mechanical & Mechatronics

It's a full day of discovery at TronCon 2024! TronCon will coincide with the Mechatronics Capstone Design Symposium to give alumni an opportunity to view the newest batch of Capstone design projects (FYDPs) by fourth year mechatronic students, get involved in judging the capstone design projects, and reconnect with the Tron community at the event and at the dinner that follows. 

When you imagine a sustainable future for aeronautics, what do you see? Supported by academic units from all 6 faculties at the University of Waterloo, and the rich industry and government network of the Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Aeronautics, the Collaborative Aeronautics Program (CAP) is an entirely new approach to Master’s and Doctoral studies in aeronautics.

Learn how to apply directly to an Engineering program and select the Aeronautics admission option. While completing their degree requirements in a home unit, students also complete aeronautical training alongside CAP students from other fields. The CAP will uniquely equip the next generation of leaders with the interdisciplinary skills needed to align innovation with impact.
