“You’re in mechatronics engineering? Whoa, that sounds awesome, do you make like, Transformers?” That’s how most of your first conversations might go with the friends you’ll meet in first year. Feel free to confidently answer, “Probably.”
Congratulations and welcome to one of Waterloo’s standout multidisciplinary engineering programs, also known as Tron. Get ready to carve your undergrad legacy with an eclectic combination of electronics, mechanical engineering, controls, and computer science. You’ll be challenged in each of these unique directions, making you an experienced, well-versed engineer and a valuable asset for cutting edge, high profile co-ops.
First year’s going to fly by with a tonne of exciting hands-on projects that’ll help solidify your interests. You’ll program and assemble a robot, optimize a fuel cell car, build a truss bridge, tear apart an engine, and draft by hand and with software.
You’re at the front of a roller coaster with way more ups than downs. Waterloo’s mechatronics alumni are notorious for making waves internationally. I can’t wait to see what you’re going to accomplish, Class of 2019.
