<p>hi guys
well i am interested in mechatronics engineering. But when i was looking for different universities which offer this course most of the good universities don't offer this course !
is this course good ? or you will suggest me to take the typical engineering courses like mech., computer science !
thank you !</p>
<p>I consider myself a mechatronics engineer. I went to Penn State for electro-mechanical engineering technology and am finishing up a masters degree in engineering science at Penn State now. I’ve found most professors aren’t so hot at mechatronics topics- it requires you to really be up to date on lots of new technologies, and be fairly good at both electronics and programming. Hence, wherever you choose to go, you will need to do tons of work on your own, but use the faculty to help support your initiatives. </p>
<p>This is a video I made the other day for an autonomous car which uses a neural network to move. I used my camera phone to send images to matlab which uses the inputs for the trained neural network and steers the car. I’ll make it faster, this was just some basic testing I had done to make sure it worked. </p>

<p>why don’t all the good universities offer this course ?
any particular reason ???
thank u !</p>
<p>I’m sure that a lot of universities do work in mechatronics but they may not have a degree in it. Project work and research is often collaborative. For example, a robotics program could have a team of mech, electrical, computer engineering or computer science students working on the robot.</p>
<p>i do know that they work like that but why can’t they just have a separate engineering like that ???</p>
