In our Mechatronics Engineering Technology program, you will gain knowledge and hands-on training for the in-demand field of mechatronics, which combines electronics, robotics, mechanics, instrumentation, process control, and industrial automation. Coursework includes circuit analysis, digital electronics, electrical machines, computer-aided drafting, and hydraulics/pneumatics.
This is a certificate program and requires fewer credits and less time to complete than a degree or diploma program. Certificate programs can be taken alone but are often taken along with other Industrial Manufacturing programs.
The Mechatronics Engineering Technology program also offers degree, diploma and additional certificate options.
