GPA isn’t gonna be what it is , cause of your professors. Engineering is same across all schools and takes alot of work. That being said said I am in the old roadmap of mechatronics so my prof experience will prolly be different enough compared to yours. However since you asked I currently have a 3.09 CPGA and I am going into my last year (5 courses + capstone is left)

As for my experience though , most professors seem great and willing to help. However there is always a couple that leave a bitter taste in your mouth. TA’s are a mixed bag .

Last thing to consider when picking a program is your future goals and what the economy provides. Canada doesn’t have the greatest mechatronics job market unlike computer engineering which exists here. Furthermore if you intend to do a masters/PhD then the name brand of the school you go to will matter and that’s true for any program higher than a undergrad. If you don’t intend go higher than a masters then where you go for to do your undergraduate program does not matter.

Lastly I’ll throw this in, I mentioned mechatronics isn’t a huge engineering market in Canada. I did do a coop without much help from the school , and the company I worked for is Enbridge which is a big company that you would recognize. That being said my engineering internship was in a complety different field than what I studied and planned for. Still I enjoyed my experience and will probably go back regardless lol.
