York University’s Lassonde School of Engineering has launched a new Mechatronics Bachelor of Engineering degree. The program integrates multiple engineering disciplines to prepare students to use advances in AI to solve complex, real-world programs. Students can enrol in the first-year block model option to focus on one course at a time and will be able to connect with upper year students who act as mentors. Two mandatory work terms and optional co-op terms are also included in the program to provide hands-on learning opportunities. “The goal of mechatronics is to provide the necessary technical background so that any graduate is well prepared for that, but also providing the soft skills, work and life experiences that will make them well suited for careers in industry,” said YorkU Mechatronics Program Director Michael Jenkin.
