Bachelor of Engineering - Mechatronics

Sault College and Humber College are partnering to offer an innovative opportunity for post-secondary learners. Beginning September 2021, the Colleges will co-deliver the Bachelor of Engineering - Mechatronics, allowing students to study at either Sault College – Sault Ste. Marie Campus or Humber’s North Campus. This collaboration strengthens opportunities for learners, particularly those in the North, to study in exciting and emerging fields while living closer to home.

The Bachelor of Engineering – Mechatronics discipline gives you hands-on experience with industry-standard advanced technology. You can choose from focused study in either robotics or embedded systems.  During the course of  the program, students will solve real industry and community problems and gain knowledge and skills in mechanical, electrical, electronics and computer engineering. Students use emerging and cutting-edge technologies in robotics, control, electronics, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), motors, mechanical components, digital and analog circuits, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), machine learning, modeling, simulation, embedded systems, and advanced manufacturing. Each of these themes provides theoretical knowledge alongside hands-on training to complement a systems-thinking approach to solving real world problems. 

In addition, this program provides an opportunity to work on industry-led projects through multidisciplinary capstone projects as well as applied research opportunities. Through these experiences, students apply the theoretical knowledge gained during their education to solve real industry problems, while improving their professional skills such as teamwork, communication, collaboration and problem-solving.

Entrance Eligibility

• Students eligible for scholarship must be newly admitted to Sault College and entering their first year of postsecondary studies directly from high school (up to one-year post high school).
• The grades used at the time of admission determine Admission GPA, calculated to one decimal place.
• Admission GPA is not recalculated if courses are upgraded, or if admission is determined using pre-requisite course grades or midterm grades.
• Students must be registered full-time at Sault College, unless otherwise determined by Accessibility Services.
• Students requiring preparatory courses in their first year or subsequent years of study are not eligible for the scholarship.
   

Renewable Eligibility

• Students must maintain a 3.5% GPA or above, to qualify for annual scholarship renewal at the Admission GPA level.
• Renewability assessment takes place at the end of each academic year and is based on the fall and winter semester GPA calculation.
• Students must maintain full-time registration each term, unless otherwise determined by Accessibility Services. Students in their graduating year who do not require a full time course load for graduation are eligible to receive a pro-rated scholarship.
• Students are eligible for the renewable scholarship up to and including their fourth year of studies.
