Mechanical vs Mechatronics Engineering : Which is BETTER?

A lot of students struggle to choose the "right" engineering major because of many factors. Common ones include the following:
1. You have yet to discover what you like and dislike.
2. There are so many disciplines that overlap and are difficult to understand without the necessary resources and guidance.
3. Your interests lie in a plethora of areas.
4. You are worried about things like job security, salary, etc.
The goal is to help anyone who is having trouble deciding between two very attractive majors - MECHANICAL and MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING - and who wants to learn more about these two disciplines.

My brother started an Auto company, that converts Gasoline Cars to EV's, he also started his Mechatronics Engineering journey (Freshman), and men, its one hell of a journey.

I want to join 😊

If yur country is developing, always takes the engineering discipline that teach you how things are made qnd how to make things. Core engineering never goes wrong, you will always be needed even if you're not "exeptionally" paid.

I like your way of thinking.

I'm going to be graduating with a mechanical engineering degree soon but have found that I am interested in mechatronic aspects, do the skills transfer well?

[@EngineeringGoneWild]

For sure! I would say 99% of Mechanical Engineering skills are transferrable. Mechatronics is a great subfield with a bright future🙂

[@typicaladvance2453]

​@@EngineeringGoneWild What about electrical and electronics engineering graduates

[@Erowens98]

Its almost a meme how often mechanical engineers "steal" other engineers jobs. Shouldn't be much of a problem given how similar those two are. In many schools mechatronics is even placed under the umbrella of Mechanical engineering as a specialization module.

[@ombisht8651]

Mechanical is king 👑💪🥀

[@brycefallows5890]

michigan tech is a great one. where do u live?

[@Erowens98]

In a lot of schools, mechatronics is a graduate degree, usually considered as a specialization subset of Mechanical engineering.

[@Joe.O_623]

I've worked in many places with mechanical engineers. Most of them are miserable and hate their job. Nowadays, they're glorified drafters. Management treats them like crap. Honestly, the cleaning staff is treated better. They are constantly dumped on. If you are an engineer and have any sort of social skills, your best bet is to get into technical sales. Big contracts = big money. You will get much more financial reward and professional growth/ recognition. Let the pions draw the nuts and bolts.

[@kingy-ck2qw]

That's what happens when you go and work for sh..t employers and this is not specific to ME only.

[@darkerregion9291]

It's hard for an INTJ personality type.

[@daramolapeter8685]

Why

[@oskarfjortoft]

if they're literally forcing you; call the police. if not; stop being a pushover and just do what you want. your comment serves no purpose. it has nothing to do with the course of topic, and everything to do with you. if you want a better life, then work towards that goal. you complaining on the internet isn't going to make your life better. actually taking action for the betterment of your situation is a decision that is fully and entirely up to you. neither your parents nor randos in a youtube comment section, have any intrinsic power over your life and choices. you are the sole arbiter of your own actions and decisions, any power anyone else have in that capacity is power that you've given them. the person that have put you where you are is you. the person that can take you somewhere else you. the only person that have direct power over your future is you. every thing and everyone else are external forces that act independently of you, and you are the only person that can chose how to navigate that landscape. complaining in a youtube comment section is just an attempt to offload those decisions to someone else. the bettering of your life is your responsibility and your incentive. stop trying to blame others for the decisions you have and are actively making and take accountability for your life. its something everyone has to do, and its a decision only you can make.

[@lsantos-monzon7269]

So sorry you have to go for this only because you family wants, you have to tell u parents how unhappy you are. Life is too short. Do what you like to do. Please fight for your rights to make your own decisions. Be happy 😊 I'll be praying for you 🙏
