Description: | The four-year Bachelor of Engineering (Automation and Robotics) degree prepares you for a career in the field of automation and robotics. Eligible graduates of the Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technician (EMET) Ontario College Diploma program can apply to this pathway program and receive credit for up to 12 courses in the degree, reducing the time to degree completion to three years and four months.
Autonomous and remotely operated systems are deployed the world over with ever increasing frequency. Such systems are being implemented in many instances to reduce risk to human workers, to achieve higher efficiencies in manufacturing and to improve the quality of lives through robot-assisted rehabilitation and care. Variations of these systems are often in place for reasons of feasibility, efficiency, safety or practicality. Traditionally, in order to develop such systems, collaborative expertise and knowledge in aspects of mechanical and electrical engineering as well as computer science is necessary. Through a combination of these three fields of engineering, this program helps you acquire the theoretical and applied expertise to succeed in the high-demand field of automation and robotics. |
