Graduate certificate
The Graduate Certificate in Robotics and Mechatronics is an effort among the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Department of Civil Engineering, the Institute for Aerospace Studies, and the Institute for Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering. It is open to all graduate students in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering.
The Graduate Certificate in Robotics and Mechatronics provides graduate students with the opportunity to develop knowledge in areas that are key to the development of smart and high performance systems. These key areas are Control Systems, Signal and Image Processing, Dynamics and Modeling, and Systems Integration.
The certificate requirements are that a student must take four courses from at least three distinct groups out of four distinct groups. Courses are listed by group below. A student is required to take the remaining courses needed to satisfy the program requirements of his/her home department.
Students must contact course instructors to ensure that they satisfy all the course pre-requisites. For information regarding the Certificate, please contact: .
