Being a purely mechanical student, it feels like I have a HUGE Blindspot when designing mechanical systems that involve controls or electricity. I am thinking of doing mechatronics to become more aware and independent.

[@atanudavid9663]

Precisely my dilemma at the moment. I focused on control system but regardless of all that knowledge and experience I'm still unable to reconcile mechanical design with electrical components with ease. I believe I would be better satisfied when I acquire the technical know-how and knowledge of mechatronics, my horizons would expand.

[@JakeVoorhees]

Nice! What a cool comment. I save ones like this. The thing to know about mechatronics engineering is that there are only 28 programs in the USA. So you will probably have to choose EE or ME and then focus in MTREs for your concentration. The biggest thing you can start doing for engineering career is learn to code. The more momentum you have there, the better. And if you can do electrical engineering, you can do anything you want within mechatronics / robotics. Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? I respond to everything

[@kesavdarshan]

@@JakeVoorhees code?what does it mean?Java or Python which is coding is much useful

[@JakeVoorhees]

@@kesavdarshan hey thanks for the comment. Here are the best languages for mechatronics engineers. There is no simple answer to this. if you ask "What's the best programming language for mechatronics/robotics?" to a whole roomful of professionals will give different answers. I find most mechatronics engineering enthusiasts are striving for a career in robotics, so this reply pertains to that. Electronic engineers will give a different answer from industrial robotic technicians. Computer vision programmers will give a different answer from cognitive roboticists. In the end, the answer which most intelligent people agree on is "it depends." This is the most realistic answer. It depends on what type of application you want to develop. It depends on what system you are using. It depends on your personal preferences. But, it is also a pretty useless answer for the new roboticist who is trying to decide which language to learn first. You're probably reading this article because you want to start programming robots and don't know which language to choose. My advice is not to ask which programming language is the "best". A better question to ask is: Which programming language should I start learning now? You will still get differing opinions, but a lot of roboticists can agree on the key languages. The most important thing for career roboticists is to develop "The Programming Mindset" rather than to be proficient in one specific language. In many ways, it doesn't really matter which programming language you learn first. Each language that you learn develops your proficiency with the programming mindset and makes it easier to learn any new language whenever it's required. In this case, learn whichever language makes the most sense for your next project. It's also worth pointing out that some widely popular languages are not common in robotics. For example, Javascript and PHP are used extensively in web development but hardly at all in robotics. Here are my top suggestions: C/C++, which are the top languages in robotics. Python Java C#/.NET Matlab Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? I respond to everything, cheers!

So nice to watch a video that doesn't say mechatronics = robotics. I'm a 3rd year mechatronics engineering student and found the degree focused much more on automation, controls and modelling systems. It's definitely an industry ready career path. This is a well researched video. Nice work

[@JakeVoorhees]

Thank youuuu, yeah its more than that right. Robotics is just a subset. I know you know. Which program are you? I'm reaching out to KSU in the US right now about doing some things together. Also, as a mechatronics student, I'd love to talk with you more. I'm looking for more ideas for deep dive videos into mechatronics technologies, applications, careers, etc. Anything cool worth a full 8min video about - something like this. I'd love to chat with you, thanks!

[@iamsecrets]

​@@JakeVoorhees i'll join the discord and talk more on there sometime. Sorry i'm a little busy. I have a test next week and a baby on the way this semester. I'm actually studying mechatronics at Curtin University In Australia. Its quite new but became one of the most popular courses quite quickly. I chose the degree because i wanted to get into automation. I've had a chat with the person that interviews graduate engineers for grad positions at a company i want to work at. From that i've decided i'm going to try aim myself towards process controls. Perhaps doing a masters in subsea engineering (offshort mining is huge in my state). This is of course all up in the air till i actually get a few years in the industry. If you are looking for video ideas i've also never seen video about my situation. I'm a mature aged student, i didn't take math or physics in highschool and decided to change my career when i was 23. I've met heaps of people in similar positions, but most videos are aimed at the highschool student entering university. Its led to a few surprising differences though. For example the interviewer i spoke to said for mature ages grads who have worked in the past joining university clubs is almost unrequired. they don't expect adults with mortgages, families and work commitments to commit to that. Your previous work experience makes up for it. concentrate instead of networking with industry (As you are closer in age to young working engineers) and building a portfolio of personal projects.

Hey thanks for the comment. Great plan. Here's the thing with a BS in mechatronics. You can't really get one. There are actually just 3 ABET programs in the USA right now. So oftentimes you have to choose EE or ME or CPE and do a degree concentration in mechatronics, which is a great path. Some universities have a formal certification program within EE/ME/CPE, or you may have to build it yourself. You would do that by for example, majoring in EE and taking more electronics courses and less about power or telecommunications. You would take robotics electives, signals and controls, and circuits courses, etc. Your CS related courses should revolve around mechatronics rather than something else, and so on.

@@jrmx2s.787 hey thanks for the extra comment. I think EE is best for robotics because you can do electronics or computer engineering focus, signals and controls, instrumentation, machine learning and anything CS related, circuits, telecomm, etc. As for automotive, many MEs want to do this as it’s technically a part of mechanical engineering - vehicle engineering. Many automotive engineers work with and design, test, analyze and redesign the physical components in the automotive industry. If you like coding and electronics, do EE. If you are 100% into physical parts design, so ME. You can work almost the same career in the same sectors but one career vs the other will result in a different type of role for you. If you are on the fence, EE is better to me. More options. Cooler potential. More money. More coding pathways. EE is the best engineering today. Does that help?

[@TheCommonSenseProfessor]

I have an undergrad in Electromechanical (Mechatronics), two Siemens' Mechatronic certifications, and I am the program coordinator for an Electromechanical program. Good luck finding industry in America that understands Mechatronics (do a quick monster.com search on Mechatronics). Also, there is not a Mechatronics PE, you will either have to take the Electrical or Mechanical exam. It is a great field, and the majority of my graduates are employed as Automation Engineers or Control Engineers. I was in I&C before moving to teaching.

[@JakeVoorhees]

Yeah thanks for the comment. Mechatronics is a great path but you are right. It is still a weird time. I get a lot of questions about mechatronics engineering - probably more than any other subset of engineering nowadays. I think mechatronics is the future. It is the intersection of mechanical and electrical engineering, so you can lean into either the physical design side i.e. mechanics, or the electrical engineering aspects which would include the circuitry, signals and controls, power, automation, and programming aspects. I think a mechatronics engineer who leans into the electrical engineering side of things is VERY well suited for the future. There are only 28 ABET mechatronics programs in the world and just 3 in the USA, so oftentimes people like your students will have to choose EE or ME or CPE and do a degree concentration in mechatronics, which is awesome. Maybe these videos will help them decide which one to do, “Mechanical VS Electrical Engineering” kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIGtXoytataJqcU These will probably be helpful as well: “What Do Mechanical Engineers Do?” kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6iopZiOr82nl80 “What Do Electrical Engineers Do” kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIPEqH5_a7amo5I “What Do Computer Engineers Do?” kzbin.info/www/bejne/npqvXpaKl99kbpo Let me know what else I can help you or your students with okay?

Then, you can get internships and network with people in mechatronics/robotics and boom - you're now a mechatronics engineer. Does that make sense? Thanks

@@365dailyroutine yuppp, if you’re interested in mechatronics, here is another pro tip. You basically have to major in something else because there are only 3 ABET accredited programs in the USA. So oftentimes you have to choose EE or ME or CPE and do a degree concentration in mechatronics, which is a great path. Some universities have a formal certification program within EE/ME/CPE, or you may have to build it yourself. You would do that by for example, majoring in EE and taking more electronics courses and less about power or telecommunications. You would take robotics electives, signals and controls, and circuits courses, etc. Your CS related courses should revolve around mechatronics rather than something else, and so on.

Hey thanks for the comment. I think it’s a legitimate consideration but I wouldn’t worry about it.

What's FE and PE ?

[@JakeVoorhees]

I guess I should make a video about this :) There are a variety of schools for engineering, but only some are ABET accredited. This type of school is required to be eligible to become an actually Engineer in Training (EIT) and eventually a full Professional Engineer (PE). In order to gain these certifications, you must sit for a series of two 8 hour engineering exams. The first of which is the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam, or the FE. Students in engineering at ABET universities can sit for the FE at the end of their courses, usually during senior year is when you would first take it. The FE tests you on generally engineering (4 hours in the morning), and then based on your major, you will have questions on mechanical/civil/electrical etc. After this, you become an EIT. Then you go out and get your first full time engineering job, typically as a "Staff Engineer". Even though you are a working professional, you are not a professional engineer yet. This requires 4 full years of engineering experience while working under someone with the Professional Engineer (PE) certification. Once you have that, there is a bunch of paperwork and validation of your experience. Then you can sit for the Professional Engineering Exam, the PE. This is another 8 hours where depending on your discipline, you would take a general mechanical in the morning, and then a specified mechanical (HVAC, Machine Design, Thermal & Fluids) or say if you're a civil engineer, there is Transportation, Structures, Geotechnical, Construction, Water Resources, etc. The PE is very hard and pass rates for some types are just 50%. Engineers usually study for an entire year, and its totally open book. People bring in a red wagon full of text books sometimes. So after you take the FE, work for 4 years, then study really hard and pass the PE for your field, you are a full engineer. I hope this helps! Thanks

@@JakeVoorhees thank you so much for that, btw do you recommend studying engineering in germany ? Im currently in my 1st semester of mechatronics engineering in turkey but im thinking i would have a better opportunity from every aspect if i transfer to an applied science university in germany.

[@JakeVoorhees]

@@poserjockey8406 thanks for the comment. yeah I mean getting a degree in the west is probably better. I suppose it depends where you want to work after school. Do you want to live and work in Germany? Let me know so I can help you thanks

After mechatronics can we work in cars in automobile industry

Hello, I need some help deciding on my majors, I want to be a mechatronics engineer, but I do not know what my majors and minors should be, could you please help me?

[@JakeVoorhees]

Yup great question. And thanks for the comment. I get a lot of questions about mechatronics engineering - probably more than any other subset of engineering nowadays. . I think mechatronics is the future. It is the intersection of mechanical and electrical engineering, so you can lean into either the physical design side i.e. mechanics, or the electrical engineering aspects which would include the circuitry, signals and controls, power, automation, and programming aspects. I think a mechatronics engineer who leans into the electrical engineering side of things is VERY well suited for the future. Here are some videos that you may be interested in: . “What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?” kzbin.info/www/bejne/aorNfY2Zhrd_mtU . There are only 28 ABET mechatronics engineering programs in the world and just 3 in the USA. So oftentimes you have to choose EE or ME or CPE and do a degree concentration in mechatronics, which is a great path. Some universities have a formal certification program within EE/ME/CPE, or you may have to build it yourself. You would do that by for example, majoring in EE and taking more electronics courses and less about power or telecommunications. You would take robotics electives, signals and controls, and circuits courses, etc. Your CS related courses should revolve around mechatronics rather than something else, and so on. Computer Engineering is often a subset of Electrical Engineering. But sometimes engineers struggle to choose between ME vs EE/CPE. This video will help you decide, “Mechanical VS Electrical Engineering” kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIGtXoytataJqcU . These will probably be helpful as well: “What Do Mechanical Engineers Do?” kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6iopZiOr82nl80 “What Do Electrical Engineers Do” kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIPEqH5_a7amo5I “What Do Computer Engineers Do?” kzbin.info/www/bejne/npqvXpaKl99kbpo . I also ranked Mechatronics Engineering as one of the only two S-Tier Mechanical Engineering options in this video, “Mechanical Engineering Job Tier List” kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZnbc3-ber2Sha8 . Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? I respond to everything, thanks again!!

I know at BGSU my son is in the first class of mechatronics engineers. It’s being offered by more and more universities🙂

If I got into mechatronics engineering and liked one of the sub fields more (ie mechanical or electrical engineering or computer science ) Can I get a masters degrees in one of these fields

[@JakeVoorhees]

Ya absolutely. Thanks for the comment. There aren’t too many ABET accredited mechatronics programs. Just 3 in USA and 25 more around the world right now. So oftentimes you have to choose EE or ME or CPE and do a degree concentration in mechatronics, which is a great path. Some universities have a formal certification program within EE/ME/CPE, or you may have to build it yourself. You would do that by for example, majoring in EE and taking more electronics courses and less about power or telecommunications. You would take robotics electives, signals and controls, and circuits courses, etc. Your CS related courses should revolve around mechatronics rather than something else, and so on. And because you can get into any engineering graduate program with any engineering bachelors, you will be able to do whatever you want with an EE/ME/CPE or MTREs bachelors. Computer Engineering is often a subset of Electrical Engineering. But sometimes engineers struggle to choose between ME vs EE/CPE.
