As a mechanical, industrial or mechatronics engineer, you’ll access an in-demand field of robotics, mechanics, facilities design and systems operation, and its connection to people. Whether it’s engines and turbines, biomechanical implants and artificial limbs, or logistics and supply chains, you’ll design and develop cutting-edge technologies that impact society and improve lives and the environment. Your options are limitless, with many mechanical, industrial and mechatronics engineers pursuing rewarding careers in pharmaceuticals, transportation, manufacturing, health care, product design, financial services, government, robotics, urban/industrial infrastructure, operations research and management consulting.
In the Department of Mechanical, Industrial, and Mechatronics Engineering, our students receive instruction from renowned, award-winning professors. Our undergraduates gain hands-on training at labs on campus, as well as invaluable work experience through our optional co-operative internship program in mechatronics, mechanical and industrial engineering. Our graduate students conduct innovative research to find creative solutions for the world’s most urgent problems.

Geared toward addressing the need for automated decision-making systems and solutions for a sustainable and resilient future, Dr. Sharareh Taghipour, Canada Research Chair in Physical Asset Management, develops and disseminates new knowledge to academia and industry on novel models for real-time and distributed learning and decision optimization for physical asset management, as well as methods for optimal design and operation of systems. She develops models for real-time and distributed prognostic and health management, prescriptive maintenance, and production scheduling, and advances the methodologies for optimal design of systems and supply chain networks with the consideration of reliability, resilience, safety, and sustainability.
“My academic and extracurricular experiences at Toronto Metropolitan University taught me how to set a plan in motion to reach my goals. Toronto Metropolitan University gave me the tools I needed to break into a competitive industry.”
