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.

The Department of Mechanical , Industrial and Mechatronics Engineering offers more than 20 state-of-the-art laboratories and facilities, including the Centre for Near-net-shape Processing of Materials.
In his Laboratory of Fields, Flows, and Interfaces, Dr. Scott Tsai works with students to develop microfluidic systems that can control the size of microbubbles – and shrink them to ten times smaller than a red blood cell. In the future, healthcare practitioners could use these modified nanobubbles to intravenously send drugs to tissue within a patient’s body and pinpoint diseases in the bloodstream through enhanced ultrasound images.
