SUMMARY

The University of Toronto (U of T) offers a Mechatronics program through its Mechanical Engineering department. Students must enroll in Mechanical Engineering and can select the Mechatronics stream starting in their third year. In the fourth year, students engage in advanced Mechatronics courses and participate in a group project competition focused on building robots to complete specific tasks. Detailed course information can be found on the U of T website.

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.

Well, have you looked anywhere.. like their website?
 
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.
