Mechatronics Engineering is the design of robotics, control systems, and electromechanical systems. This is a new and rapidly-growing multi-disciplinary branch of engineering at the intersection of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, and Computer Science.
You will gain the skills to design intelligent machines, from electric vehicles to large-scale industrial robots. During the program you'll learn how to design systems that rely on mechanical elements, electrical power, sensing and control.
You will have the opportunity to undertake practical work throughout the degree, including lab work, projects, and co-op work that involve designing and building mechatronics components and systems.
What's different about Mechatronics Engineering at Lakehead?
At Lakehead Engineering we believe integrated and sustainable technology design is critical for protecting the environment and improving the well-being of people and society.
That's why our new BEng Mechatronics Engineering program has been designed to prepare students to create technologies that support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).
With sustainability at its core, this unique program integrates business, law, and public safety into the learning experience giving students a deeper and broader insight to accompany their engineering expertise.
