Mechatronic Systems Engineering, BASc
The new Mechatronic Systems Engineering (MSE) program aims to leverage machine learning, artificial intelligence, and computer vision techniques to enhance mechatronics system performance. The MSE curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) has been designed to offer students an education that is immediately valuable to them on graduation and which, at the same time, provides a foundation to accommodate their further education in industry or research. The curriculum supports three optional Co-op placements. The program offers two areas of specialization: 1) Autonomous Vehicles and 2) Intelligent Manufacturing, which are in high demand in the labour market, particularly in the Windsor-Essex region. The MSE curriculum has been developed according to the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) recommendations and the Canadian Engineering Qualifications Board (CEQB) syllabus. The curriculum consists of courses in three categories: 1. Basic Studies (foundational math and science topics common to all the BASc Engineering Programs), 2. Complementary Studies (safety, engineering economy, sustainability and engineering management, law and ethics (incorporated in Capstone Design), humanities, and social science; and 3. Discipline-Specific Studies (core areas and advanced areas of knowledge). Graduates of the MSE program will possess a deep understanding of both theoretical concepts and practical applications, enabling them to contribute to advancing technology and tackling current and future engineering challenges.
