Bachelor of Applied Science in Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering

About this programme

The Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering (MRE) Program is a direct-entry degree program. This means that you enter directly into the MRE discipline from high school, instead of taking general engineering in first year and selecting a discipline in second year. Prospective students must apply directly to Queen's MRE through the OUAC (Ontario University Application Centre) website. You may apply to both General Engineering and MRE if desired. Secondary School prerequisites for MRE include these five 4U courses: English 4U, Calculus and Vectors 4U, Advanced Functions 4U, Chemistry 4U, and Physics 4U. Applicants outside of Ontario may have additional requirements. When you graduate from the MRE program, you will hold a Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering (BASc.), or if you choose to do an internship through the Queen's Undergraduate Internship Program (QUIP), a Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering with Professional Internship. As an MRE student, you will take unique courses developed for MRE starting in the second semester of your first year, in addition to courses in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Mechanical and Materials Engineering. Lab courses in the MRE program are designed to reflect real-world applications of mechatronics and robotics theory, whether that’s troubleshooting systems integration, analyzing heat transfer in micro-electronics, coding an autonomous robot, or full-scale client-based design projects. We work with faculty, graduate students, industry contacts, and student design teams to assess problems they encountered in their work to
