Overview
Humber’s Bachelor of Engineering program begins with a common platform of first-year courses that provide foundational engineering knowledge and skills. Following the first year, the curriculum branches into three different discipline areas:
- Information Systems Engineering
- Mechatronics
- The Built Environment
The Bachelor of Engineering – Mechatronics discipline provides hands-on experience with industry-standard advanced technology. You can choose from a focused study in either robotics or embedded systems. During the course of the program, students will solve real industry and community problems and gain knowledge and skills in mechanical, electrical, electronics and computer engineering. Students use emerging and cutting-edge technologies in robotics, control, electronics, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), motors, mechanical components, digital and analog circuits, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), machine learning, modelling, simulation, embedded systems, and advanced manufacturing. Each of these themes provides theoretical knowledge alongside hands-on training to complement a systems-thinking approach to solving real-world problems.
In addition, this program provides an opportunity to work on industry-led projects through multidisciplinary capstone projects and applied research opportunities. Through these experiences, students apply the theoretical knowledge gained during their education to solve real industry problems while improving their professional skills such as teamwork, communication, collaboration and problem-solving.
Co-op
A co-op work program (three consecutive work terms, 420 hours each) ensures that work-integrated learning experiences are woven into the curriculum. This gives students a contextual understanding of the industry and specific sectors they are training for and recognition of the importance of hands-on experience.
Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB)
The Bachelor of Engineering – Mechatronics is designed to meet the accreditation requirements of the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). Humber will be eligible to apply for CEAB accreditation upon graduating the first cohort of students.
Career opportunities
As reported in the Engineers Canada Report, Engineering Labour Market in Canada: Projections to 2025, the need for engineers in Canada has been steadily increasing, and growth is expected to continue in the coming years. Graduates of the Mechatronics discipline may find careers in advanced manufacturing, energy, health care, food and pharmaceutical, packaging, consulting, transportation, and automotive, as well as in other emerging industrial sectors.
