Overview

Two graduate students working on a mechatronics project.

The Master's programs in Mechatronics Engineering provide students with a detailed understanding of the main areas associated with mechatronics engineering.

The Master of Engineering (MEng) and Master of Applied Science (MASc) in Mechatronics Engineering allows a student to study all of the main areas associated with mechatronics engineering. Mechatronics engineering is an interdisciplinary discipline featuring aspects of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, software engineering, and controls. Opportunities exist for graduate students to explore these areas. Topics can vary widely and may include robotics, autonomous systems, bio-mechatronics, controls, and artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Ontario Tech University is one of a handful of universities in Canada that offers a dedicated program in Mechatronics Engineering, which integrates mechanical and electrical systems with real-time control, combining hardware with software to produce new devices such as consumer products, medical devices, high-tech automobile systems and robots.

Master of Applied Science (MASc)

The objective of the MASc program in Mechatronics Engineering is to prepare students for careers in research, development, and advanced engineering. Graduates of the program will be able to work as engineers in research and development or other areas in advanced technology companies or government agencies, or continue their education and pursue a PhD degree. The objectives of the MASc program are achieved through a combination of course work, supervised research, a research seminar, and a research thesis.

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.

Tuition fees for graduate programs are charged on a flat-fee or fee-per-credit basis and vary by program and student status.

For current, specific fees and details on flat-fee versus fee-per-credit programs, please see tuition and fees.
