At the University of Waterloo, Mechatronics is one of the engineering programs. It is sort of a derivative of Mechanical Engineering (same department), but has a considerable amount more programming and electrical education.
I'm in this program, but "Megatronics" is what my very-non-technically-inclined mom keeps calling it by accident.
