| What it is | You study the design, building, and testing of cars and other vehicles, combining mechanical engineering with hands-on automotive know-how. Unlike a general mechanical engineering program, this focuses specifically on vehicle systems like engines, transmissions, and chassis. The co-op requirement means you work semesters in automotive companies alongside your classroom learning. It suits people who want engineering depth but prefer learning through real projects and industry experience rather than pure theory. | Mechatronics engineering combines mechanical systems, electronics, and computer control to design machines and devices that think and move. You'll study how motors, sensors, and software work together in everything from robots to medical equipment. The co-op option lets you alternate between study terms and paid work terms, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
