Opportunities in Mechatronics Engineering

The advancement of technology is driving towards embedded electronics, sensors and actuators. We are all becoming accustomed to automation, electronics and sensors being a part of our day to day lives. This is where the Mechatronics Engineer comes into the picture.

After your Undergraduate Degree

Mechatronics Option students have the option to either take graduate studies or go straight into industry.

Graduate Programs

After graduation, mechatronics students are well positioned to pursue an M.A.Sc. (research-focused) or M.Eng. (industry-focused) in mechatronics, mechanical, electrical, or computer engineering. An undergraduate degree from UBC opens the door to graduate studies across Canada and around the world. Our various graduate programs provide research opportunities for students interested in mechatronics. Some areas of interest are:

·         Automation

·         Intelligent Systems

·         Metal Cutting

·         Metal Forming

·         Production Engineering

·         Robotics

We also offer an M.Eng program specifically for Mechatronics Option students. Students may also pursue theirM.A.Sc or Ph.D and specialize in Mechatronics and Manufacturing.
