What it is	Mechatronics engineering combines mechanical, electrical, and AI systems into machines that think and move — think robots, automated manufacturing, or smart devices. This co-op program alternates between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, so you graduate with real engineering experience alongside your degree. The management option adds business and leadership courses if you want to move toward supervising projects or running operations. This suits people who want hands-on problem-solving, like learning by doing, and are ready to commit to work-study scheduling.	You study the engineering principles behind medical devices and equipment, combining mechanical engineering with biology and healthcare applications. Unlike pure mechanical engineering, this program integrates biomedical sciences so you design systems that work inside or on the human body. It suits students interested in engineering who also want to apply their skills directly to medicine and health technology, with mandatory paid work terms built into the degree.	Biomedical mechanical engineering combines mechanical engineering with biology and medicine, teaching you to design and build medical devices, prosthetics, and equipment that work inside or on the human body. Unlike a standard mechanical engineering program, this one integrates life sciences throughout, so you learn how human anatomy and physiology affect your designs. It suits students who want engineering problem-solving skills but are drawn to healthcare applications and want direct experience through paid work terms.
