Testimonials
“I was able to work on a big project with my group and the first-hand experience of applying what you learned is extremely valuable – for resume application too. Lastly, co-op is offered in this program, which is great for all students to get their foot out the door to start their career.”
— Fernandodaud, Graduate
“Graduates from this program would fit well into future robotics projects, such as the recent development of the Kapvik microRover prototype for Mars exploration.”
— Ian Sinclair, PhD, MPB Communications Inc.
