The FIRST Robotics Waterloo Regional Competition brings teams of Ontario's brightest high school students to the University of Waterloo campus to battle head-to-head with student-designed, remote-controlled robots. Built from scratch, these five-foot tall, 140-pound robots compete in high intensity robo-sports.

It's a full day of discovery at TronCon 2025! 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 mechatronics students, get involved in judging the capstone design projects, and reconnect with the Tron community at the event and at the dinner that follows. 

The Centre for Career Development is offering FREE headshots for Faculty of Engineering students. No registration required, we will be offering walk-in appointments on a first-come, first-served basis. Please bring your WATcard with you.

Capstone Design is the culmination of the undergraduate student experience, creating a blueprint for innovation in engineering design.
