How does the Mechatronics program at University of Toronto work?

[shawshank]

I was wondering does anyone have any info about the Mechatronics program of U of T and how it works. I'm very interested and determined to get into Mechatronics but I'm clueless about how it is offered. Waterloo is lowest on my list however, I am not planning on moving.

You have to go into Mechanical Engineering and from there you can take the Mechatronics stream/option starting in your third year of study. Then in your fourth year you take more Mechatronics courses and you will also have a group project competition that will allow you to build some kind of robot that has to complete some sort of task from what I hear. If you do a search you can probably find some of their course websites and get more details on what Mechatronics students do.
