An applied science degree in mechanical or mechatronics engineering provides several versatile career paths.
All students in Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering participate in the co-operative work/study program. The student employment rate in Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering is incredibly high, particularly for students in the later years of the program.
Mechanical engineers are expected to face many technical and managerial challenges, such as: supervision of machine operation, prototype design, theoretical analysis and model simulations, technical and economic feasibility analysis, failure analysis and cause determination, and technical marketing.
Mechatronics engineers use a multidisciplinary and systems-based approach to develop the "intelligent" electromechanical devices and integrated systems present in our daily lives including: smartphones, 3D printers, satellite systems, intelligent vehicle systems, wearable devices.
