Mechatronic Systems Engineering
Engineering @ UWindsor
Program Overview & Highlights
- Co-op Available
- Honours 4-Year Program
- BASc
The new Mechatronic Systems Engineering (MSE) program aims to leverage machine learning, artificial intelligence, and computer vision techniques to enhance mechatronics system performance. The MSE program offers two areas of specialization: 1) Autonomous Vehicles and 2) Intelligent Manufacturing, which are in increasingly high demand in the labour market. Graduates of the MSE program will possess a deep understanding of both theoretical concepts and practical applications, enabling them to contribute to advancing technology and tackling current and future engineering challenges.

Important Notes
If you did not take Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U) in high school, please identify yourself to the WINONE Office for First-Year Engineering by sending an email to [insert email]. After review, you will likely be enrolled in alternate math courses.
Required Course Notes
Students entering all four-year undergraduate engineering programs will be automatically enrolled for the following five required courses:
- GENG 1101
- GENG 1102
- MATH 1270
- MATH 1720
- PHYS 1400
Required Courses
GENG 1102: Engineering Graphics
Visualization techniques, graphical communication using sketching, descriptive geometry, and computer-aided design (CAD) for orthographic projection, pictorial drawings, dimensioning, section views, and auxiliary views. Reading engineering drawings. Engineering graphics e-portfolio and CAD project to develop visualization skills and task completion skills. (Open only to Engineering students.) (4.5 hours weekly.)
GENG 1101: Engineering I
Overview of the engineering profession: fields, career development, sustainability, health and safety, relation to society, business and entrepreneurship, ethics, equity, and Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation process. Academic integrity, strategies for university success, academic regulations, engineering-related extracurricular activities. Effective oral and written technical communication: informative and persuasive presentations; resumes and job search communications; technical writing and formatting; information gathering and analysis; research documentation and referencing; the use of visual tools such as graphs, figures, and tables; e-portfolios; and technical reports. (Open only to Engineering students.) (3 lecture hours and 1.5 tutorial hours weekly)
MATH 1270: Linear Algebra (Engineering)
This course will cover linear systems, linear transformations, matrix algebra, determinants, vectors in Rn, dot product, orthogonalization, diagonalization, eigenvectors and eigenvalues, in the context of and with an emphasis on a broad range of applications in Science and Engineering. (Prerequisite: MATH-1280 or both Ontario Grade 12 Advanced Functions (MHF4U) and Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U)) (Antirequisite: MATH-1250, or MATH-1260.) (3 lectures hours, 1 tutorial hour per week.)
MATH 1720: Differential Calculus
This course will cover trigonometric functions and identities, inverse trigonometric functions, limits and continuity, derivatives and applications, mean value theorem, indeterminate forms and l’Hôpital’s rule, antiderivatives and an introduction to definite integrals. This course is for students who have taken both Ontario Grade 12 Advanced Functions (MHF4U) and Ontario Grade 12 Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U). Students who do not have credit for MCV4U should take MATH-1760. (Prerequisites: Ontario Grade 12 Advanced Functions (MHF4U) and Ontario Grade 12 Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U) or MATH-1780.) (Antirequisite: MATH-1760.) (3 lecture hours, 1 tutorial hour per week.)
PHYS 1400: Introductory Physics I
First semester in a four-semester sequence in calculus-based introductory physics with an emphasis on mechanics. (Prerequisites: Grade 12“U” Advanced Functions and Introductory Calculus or equivalent. Recommended co-requisite: MATH-1720.) (3 lecture hours per week, 3 laboratory hours per week.) Open to students in Engineering, Human Kinetics, Forensic Science, Bachelor of Arts and Science, and all programs within in the Faculty of Science; exceptions only with the permission of the Head or designate. (Antirequisites: PHYS-1300, PHYS-1305.)
