<p>Hey guys,
I am completing my core classes right now and I am pretty sure core classes are the same for every school. After my core classes I am thinking of transferring to Gatech as a transfer student. There I want to complete my bachelors in computer science and then for my masters I want to get into mechanical field i.e not really mechanical engineer but something called mechatronics I dont care even if I get into mechanical engineering. Is it possible if so what subjects I need to take does it matter what core classes I do as I am pretty sure they don't matter but still wanted to make sure. Even if I apply as a transfer I need to take some classes for mechanical but I want to complete bachelors as a computer science so how do I let the college know about it. I would highly appreciate your help in details. </p>
<p>I suppose it would be possible but it would require a lot of remedial courses unless you use your electives to take physical sciences courses beyond what is required for a CS degree.</p>
<p>oh ok thanks for the info is there anywhere else I can find detailed info about this</p>
<p>If you are wanting a masters or a certificate in mechatronics, you’ll likely have to back fill with a lot of ME to meet the requirements. Mechatronics is a subset of ME in most programs. If you are primarily interested in the control aspect you could just take classes or even participate in the projects other students are doing for fun in the open mechatronics lab.</p>
<p>oh ok well I was thinking of taking electives that could help me get in as a master in mechatronics. Can I take electives relating to mechatronics and then complete masters in mechatronics</p>
<p>Have you considered Electrical or Computer Engineering? There’s a Mechatronics path at my school for EE’s and ME’s. Mechatronics is pretty much what happens when you combine CompE, EE and ME all together. If you do CS you will have at least a year of remdials to take, if not more in my opinion. You’ll need to have some EE classes and some ME classes. To take these classes, you will probably have to take more Math and Physics than most CS programs require (Depending on your school). </p>
<p>I’m not sure why you want to do CS and then Mechanical engineer. It’s better to do the reverse because you will miss a lot of engineering courses for Mechanical engineer if you do CS.</p>
