Mechatronics is an emerging field that combines Mechanical Engineering and Electronics, with elements of automation, computer programming and telecommunications. Working in the College’s state-of-the-art lab facilities, students will develop the problem-solving skills and data analysis ability to be a valuable contributor to a wide variety of industrial applications; from industrial equipment design and maintenance to robotics and automation. Students will learn how to use computer-aided design (CAD) to design mechanical components and assemblies in 3D. Students will then take it one step further, and fabricate their design(s) in Cambrian Colleges state-of-the-art machining and fabrication labs. Students will also have unique opportunities to put their skills into practice by working on real community and applied research projects. Graduates from the Technician diploma may be eligible to register as a Certified Technician (C.Tech) with the Ontario Association of Certified Technicians and Technologists (OACETT).
