Program Description
Mechatronics is an emerging field that combines Mechanical Engineering and Electronics, with elements of automation, computer programming and telecommunications. Working in the College’s state-of-the-art lab facilities, students will develop the problem-solving skills and data analysis ability to be a valuable contributor to a wide variety of industrial applications. Students will learn how to use computer-aided design (CAD) to design mechanical components and assemblies in 3D. Students will then take it one step further and fabricate their design in Cambrian College's state-of-the-art machining and fabrication labs. Students will work independently and in groups to build the self-directed study and teamwork skills that students will require within various workplace settings. Students will also have unique opportunities to put their skills into practice by working on applied research projects and, in their final year, hone their skills in a capstone project.
Graduates from the Technology diploma may be eligible to register as a Certified Engineering Technologist (C.E.T) with the Ontario Association of Certified Technicians and Technologists (OACETT)
