Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Mechatronics (Co-op)

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) – Mechatronics is a four-year engineering degree with a full twelve months of paid co-op — among the longest work-integrated components of any program at Humber.

Mechatronics integrates mechanical, electrical, control and software engineering into one discipline. The curriculum covers engineering mathematics through differential equations, statics and dynamics, strength of materials and machine design, circuits and electronics, microprocessors and embedded systems, control theory and system modelling, sensors and actuators, industrial robotics and kinematics, programming and real-time systems, automation and PLC engineering, manufacturing systems, and a substantial final-year capstone design project.

Two things make this a strong choice for international students. Twelve months of co-op means graduating with a year of paid Canadian engineering experience already on the resume. And as a degree, it is exempt from the PGWP field-of-study restriction that applies to Humber’s diploma programs — a structurally safer immigration position than an equivalent technology diploma.

Humber Polytechnic — formerly Humber College — is Ontario’s largest public college and a Designated Learning Institution (DLI O19376943122). The North campus in Etobicoke is its main site, running technology, engineering, health science, business and skilled trades programs in purpose-built labs and shops rather than lecture halls, with three intakes a year and the deepest employer network in the Greater Toronto Area.

Its field maps to CIP 14.4201 (Mechatronics, robotics and automation engineering). Because this is a degree, graduates are exempt from the November 2024 PGWP field-of-study restriction that applies to college credentials. Full-time on-campus study and graduation remain the conditions, and IRCC makes the final decision.
