The minor in Robotics and Mechatronics is a collaborative effort among The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, the Institute for Aerospace Studies and the Institute Biomedical Engineering (BME).
Enrolment
This is open to all Engineering undergraduates interested in learning more about robotics and mechatronics, with the exception of Engineering Science students enrolled in the Robotics Major.
Robotics and Mechatronics Minor enrolment form.
Requirements
The requirements for a Robotics and Mechatronics minor in the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering are the successful completion of the courses below (courses in italics are Engineering Science courses for Engineering Science students only; Computer Science courses may have limited enrolment; courses requiring special approval must be approved by the undergraduate chair of the student’s home department).
1. One of the following courses:
- CHE 322H1: Process Dynamics and Control
- ECE 311H1: Introduction to Control Systems
- ECE 356H1: Linear Systems and Control
- MIE 404H1: Control Systems I
- AER 372H1: Control Systems
- BME 344H1: Modeling, Dynamics and Control of Biological Systems
2. One of the following:
- AER 525H1 - Robotics
- ECE 470H1 - Robot Modeling and Control
- MIE 422H1 - Automated Manufacturing
- MIE 443H1 - Mechatronics Systems: Design and Integration
- MIE 444H1 - Mechatronics Principles
3. Four other electives from the list of robotics and mechatronics-designated courses.
4. Of the four elective courses, at least two must be from the Advanced category.
5. Of the six minor courses required, at most one course can also be a core course in a student’s Program or Option, if applicable.
6. A thesis course can count for up to two (half-year) courses toward the four elective minor courses if the thesis is strongly related to robotics or mechatronics. This requires approval by the Director of the Minor.
7. Of the six minor courses required, not all have the same department code (i.e. AER, ECE, MIE)
