What it is	Mechatronic Systems Engineering teaches you how to design and build machines and devices that combine mechanical parts, electrical systems, and computer control. Unlike a pure mechanical or electrical engineering program, this one focuses on how all three work together — think robots, manufacturing equipment, or automated systems. It suits people who like hands-on problem-solving and want to work across mechanical, electrical, and software domains, and includes work experience through co-op placements.	Smith Engineering's common first year means you take the same core courses as all engineering students — math, physics, chemistry, and engineering fundamentals — before choosing a specialization like mechanical, civil, chemical, or aerospace engineering in second year. This delays your choice, letting you explore different engineering fields before committing. It suits students who know they want engineering but are unsure which branch fits them best.	TrackOne is a first-year engineering program where you take core courses while exploring different engineering specializations before declaring your major. Unlike direct entry into a specific engineering stream, you delay choosing between chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, and other branches until you've tried foundational material in each. It suits students drawn to engineering but uncertain which discipline fits them best, or who want to sample multiple fields before committing.

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.
