Mechatronic Engineering

Anyone here majoring in or have majored in Mechatronic Engineering? Do you like it? What’s it like? Give us some info!

My son was a mechanical engineering major with a specialty in mechatronics. From what I can see, there is typically no specific mechatronic engineering department. It typically is as it was at my son’s school.

So, it is robotics from the mechanical engineering side. He has primarily worked on industrial robots, usually for small companies. He has done the hardware design, some hands on mechanical assembly and programming. In a larger company he would probably have to be a little more specialized in one area; typical of almost any field within a larger company.

He does enjoy his work.
