The proposed Mechatronics Engineering program at the University of Guelph integrates mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering/science to train students in designing intelligent, computer-controlled, electro-mechanical systems. With both a four-year regular stream and a five-year co-op stream, students would earn a Bachelor of Engineering, benefiting from an interdisciplinary approach integrated with other engineering programs. A distinctive feature of the program is its strong focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), with students encouraged to incorporate these elements into their capstone projects. Graduates will be equipped to work in various industries, including agriculture, automation, automotive, aerospace, biomedical, defense, machine vision, manufacturing, power/energy, and robotics, addressing the increasing demand for professionals with multidisciplinary expertise to solve complex technological challenges. The curriculum offers flexibility through optional Areas of Emphasis in Robotics-Control-AI or Manufacturing-Automation, allowing students to tailor their education to their career goals.
