Overview

Two graduate students working on a mechatronics project.

The Master's program in Mechatronics Engineering Co-op provides students with a detailed understanding of the main areas associated with mechatronics engineering while gaining experience to advance your career with paid co-op.

The Master of Engineering (MEng) in Mechatronics Engineering Co-op allows a student to study all of the core areas associated with mechatronics engineering. Mechatronics engineering is an interdisciplinary discipline featuring aspects of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, software engineering, and controls. Students have opportunities to explore these areas through advanced coursework, with topics that may include robotics, autonomous systems, bio-mechatronics, controls, and artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Ontario Tech is one of a handful of universities in Canada that offers a dedicated program in Mechatronics Engineering, integrating mechanical and electrical systems with real-time control. This approach combines hardware with software to support the development of technologies such as consumer products, medical devices, advanced automotive systems and robotics. Students can then apply their learning in professional settings through a paid co-op work term.

The standard length of this program is 16 months. Students may be able to complete the program in an accelerated format. For more information, please contact the program office.

Direct-entry co-op program

This program has a direct-entry co-op option that you can apply for directly on your application.

Co-op positions are full-time, paid, and provide an opportunity to apply your learning in a professional, industry setting.

Develop professional experience and advance your career while completing your degree with our co-op program.

Hold a four-year honours undergraduate engineering degree in a relevant field from an accredited engineering program at a Canadian university, or its equivalent from a recognized institution.
Minimum overall academic standing of a B (GPA: 3.0 on a 4.3 scale or 73 to 76 per cent), with a minimum B in the last two full-time years (four semesters) of undergraduate work or equivalent.

Required supporting documents

Please see the checklist of required documents for a list of supporting documentation that must be submitted with your application.

Required test scores for English language proficiency

See English language proficiency for the minimum required test scores for this program.

Please see application deadlines for specific dates. Note that the application deadlines listed are for both the online application and all supporting documentation.

Applications for admission to all graduate studies programs are submitted online. There are five steps you must go through to complete the application process. See application process and requirements for step-by-step instructions.

MASc applicants

Internal awards and funding

Applicants to research-based graduate programs who are studying full-time are automatically considered for some types of funding at the time of admission.

Types of funding that do not require an application:

Entrance scholarships
Minimum funding packages
Teaching assistantships, research assistantships and graduate research assistantships

For more details on the above funding opportunities, see graduate student awards and funding.

Please note: Part-time students are not eligible for the above funding opportunities.

External awards and funding

Graduate program applicants are encouraged to apply for external awards to help finance their education. The application process differs for each competition, so review the information carefully to determine where and when you must apply. Please note: The majority of these awards are for domestic or permanent residents only.

MEng applicants

Applicants to professional or course-based programs are not normally considered for internal funding sources such as entrance scholarships, minimum funding packages, teaching assistantships, research assistantships or graduate research assistantships.

While external scholarships and awards for graduate students who fall under the above criteria are often limited, we encourage you to explore some of the external scholarship databases available for possible funding opportunities.
