Bachelor of Engineering in Mechatronics Engineering

Carleton University

Mechatronics engineering is a growing field that combines mechanical, electrical and computer engineering. It’s used to design things like self-driving cars, autonomous robots in factories, surgical robots, 3D printers and smart-home appliances.

These machines can help build electronics, assist in surgery or support search-and-rescue teams during emergencies. As they begin to use artificial intelligence to take on more complex tasks, the design and function of the machines are becoming more advanced, too.

In the Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering program, you’ll learn how these areas work together to create advanced machines. You’ll also take part in practical projects such as building and programming robots, designing electronic circuits, working with sensors and controllers and testing real-world engineering systems in labs.
