| What it is | Mechatronics engineering combines mechanical systems with electronics and computer control to design machines and devices that think and move. You'll learn how robots, automated equipment, and smart machines work by studying mechanics, electrical circuits, and artificial intelligence together rather than separately. The management stream adds business courses if you want to lead technical teams; the co-op option lets you work semesters in industry. This suits people who want hands-on problem-solving across multiple disciplines and enjoy building things that integrate hardware and software. | Computer Science at Windsor covers programming, systems design, and problem-solving with technology. You can specialize in areas like artificial intelligence, game development, animation, or software engineering depending on your degree choice. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain industry experience alongside your studies — a fit if you want hands-on learning and want to test career paths before graduating. | You study the design, development, and theory behind computer programs and systems — from artificial intelligence and game design to information management. This program lets you do paid work terms with employers alongside your classes, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. It suits students who want hands-on industry experience early and are curious about how software and systems actually work in practice. |
