Program at-a-glance

Students in the MSE major program have a choice: you can complete your degree via the four-year curriculum or reduce your workload through a flexible (five-year) curriculum option.

Whichever route you take, the first half of your degree will train you in the essential tools required to design electrical and mechanical systems that can make decisions on their own.

In the second half of your degree, you’ll apply your skills to create innovative solutions to real-world problems. You’ll also undertake invaluable (and paid) co-op work experience and conclude your degree with a pioneering, independent Capstone Project.

What You'll Learn

The Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Mechatronic Systems Engineering is offered at the SFU Surrey campus. Some core themes and topics covered within this program include:

MECHATRONIC DESIGN

Master how to interweave mechanisms, electronics, sensors, and control strategies with software. Students examine the demands and ideas of customers and find the most efficient, cost-effective method to transform their goals into successful commercial products. 

Electric Circuits

Explore fundamental electrical circuit quantities, and circuit elements. Students will cover circuits laws such as Ohm law, Kirchoff's voltage and current laws, along with series and parallel circuits, operational amplifiers, network theorems, as well as nodal and mesh methods.

Computer Programming

Students are introduced to computing science and computer programming, using a systems oriented language, and learn critical computing science concepts including data types, control structures, functions, arrays and strings, algorithms, computer organization and memory management. 

This concentration is for students who wish to specialize in agriculture technology. Students who choose this concentration will complete three mechatronic systems engineering elective courses, and all of:
