Engineering - Mechatronics

Engineering - Mechatronics at Lakehead University is an engineering program focused on the design of robotics, control systems, and electromechanical systems. Students learn how to design systems that rely on mechanical elements, electrical power, sensing and control, with skills applied to examples such as electric vehicles and large-scale industrial robots.

Lakehead University includes practical work throughout the degree, including lab work, projects, and co-op work that involve designing and building mechatronics components and systems. The program also integrates sustainability with business, law, and public safety learning experiences, to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

The program is designed for students who want to study integrated mechatronics design with sustainability at its core, using the mix of engineering and interdisciplinary learning described by Lakehead University.

General admission requirements (International Secondary School/ College or University): Successful graduation from an academic secondary school program or equivalent; program specific prerequisite courses; equivalent of a minimum 70% overall final average (Canadian). Meeting the minimum admission requirements is not a guarantee of admission.

• Program specific prerequisites for International Students: English, Chemistry, Math with a minimum grade of 60% (Canadian Equivalent), Physics
• Additional requirement note: Calculus and Vectors (i.e. MCV4U in Ontario) is strongly recommended. Students who have completed Ontario's Grade 12 U Calculus & Vectors, with a minimum mark of 60%, will be exempted from MATH 1071 - Vectors and Matrices. A senior level Math, Science or Technological Education course is recommended. Lastly, students who do not meet all of the admission requirements will be evaluated on an individual basis.
