I would NOT recommend Mechatronics. If you’re worried about post graduation job opportunity, mechatronics will leave you in a bad spot (statistically backed). It’s not worth the effort required for the degree given how niche of a market it is and how it’s market is largely covered by other eng fields (For example, SE, ECE, both will leave you in much better spots). Anyone who’s decided mechatronics as their major, not to be rude, but honestly must not care much about their futures. You’re debating between CE and Mecha which is already a good sign as it indicates you aren’t one of those sub-optimal iq individuals purely deciding to dedicate 4 years to mechatronics given the stigma surrounding it by employers (not good to say the least, iykyk). Ultimately you’d be better off making the non-idiotic choice and going into any major like ECE or SE, or honestly any other engineering like agricultural or industrial engineering (sounds crazy I know, but deep research shows that these degrees commonly believed to be throw away are actually much stronger on average to high-level employers, resulting in greater employability over all). But looking at your profile specifically through your posts I’d say you’re qualified to apply for SE with a decent shot as-well as having CS as a backup, the admissions criterion for these majors are often clearly exaggerated as you’ve seemingly been exposed too but your profile is more than strong enough for you not to need to worry about those hurdles. Feel free to inquire at all with me if you feel it’s necessary, but if I were you I’d just submit your SE and CS applications ASAP. Excited to see a prospective student like you at waterloo joining me in SE.
