As a Mechatronics student, it is a mix of electrical ,mechanical and computer engineering.. it's hard but worth it!
Yea I def think it’s worth it 💯
Do I need to take mechatronics at college if I know nothing about it
If I take mechatronic for engineering
Will I can repair all electrical and mehanical equipments
@@TECHNICALTECHYMALAYALAMYou can but that's not what people call an engineer, that's a technician.
Engineers are designers and technicians are the ones who fix and troubleshoot problems.
This is the perfect video for someone unsure about studying mechanical/mechatronics. Really helped me out
Eyy thanks and I’m glad it helped u out :)
The most painful thing in INDIA is that you can easily study Mechanical engineering in any of the colleges with Low Tutition fee & get a job with low salary whereas for to get a Course of MECHATRONICS you need get your best rank in competitive exam & pay high tuition fee……..
Great video! As a mechatronics engineering graduate, my degree choice helps in roles like product management and engineering management because it allows you to relate to the different stages and people involved in a products manufacturing process. This helps because I am able to understand and cater to the needs of the engineers and designers involved, from the manufacturing and supplies expert to the machinists to the webpage developer for marketing. It also prepares you to work across industries from tech to consumer goods factories to supply chain. Solid degree choice, no regrets.
this is the best explanation about these two majors thank you so much man!!
Thanks for the amazing video, this is exactly what I was looking for!
Outstanding video!! So well done. Thank you!
Appreciate it :)
Being a Mechatronics Student myself, I can conclude that Mechatronics is 50% Electronics (20-25% Control and the rest is Electronic Circuits), 30% Programming, and 20% Mechanical Stuff.
Depending on how good you are with Electronics Engineering, this course can literally make or break you. I've always been weak with Electronics specifically, so I am constantly getting bombarded (if you thought circuits was hard, wait till you get into Control Theory Stuff. It's a whole other game!).
That's my experience with Mechatronics Engineering in Monash University tho. Who knows, might be different for whoever reads this comment
I might actually make a video where I talk about all the units I did so far (as I can cover nearly all of them so far) sometime soon, not sure yet.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I took one controls controls and I didn’t really like it 😅
@@TamerShaheen I did both control units together in one semester this past semester. Didn't end well for me 😅
My university 40% mechanical engineering
UQ mechatronic here, i doing okay in electronics parts. Control was interesting but challenging. The hardest part is robotics project where everything is combined.
I'm not good enough in physics, but I do enjoy working with machines + I know a little about programming, I'm so confused what do you think?
Just watched this... and can't thank u enough... great job bro 👏
Glad you liked it brother :)
I dont know why you dont have more views. Because you helped me alot, and I mean a lot.
Happy to help :) hopefully RUclips will continue to promote my content so more ppl can also gain value from it
Because this video is nearly taken word for word from other videos
A great video man. Keep it up.
Thank you so much! Some real help :)
Done Mechatronics, halfway through mechanical. Mechanical is a lot harder but I think Mechatronics has a very wide knowledge bracket but doesnt go too deep. Mechanical Obviously goes tall and gets into materials and dynamics quite deep. They are a great combo but I think mechanical is a much more established and solid degree.
You make some good points here and I feel like you really can’t go wrong with either
Wait so you can study both together?
@@yassomesho4554 i thinks he mean that he alrdy done learing mechatronics, now is half way through mechanical
Very good video. You're channel will go viral if you keep up your hard work
bro i usually don't subscribe to any channel just by watching one video. But i subscribed your channel as it gave me a lot of clarity on mechatronics THX A LOT
Eyy I appreciate that :)
Omg thank you so much I needed this
Glad u liked it :)
@@TamerShaheen you got a new subscriber :)
Thanks for the detailed video!
😊😊
I'm from Malaysia🇲🇾. This video really helped me to know about different mechanical and mechatronics .. thank you bro
Glad u liked it :)
Hi Mohamed can you help me I’m in Malaysia
Great video!!! I like this
Great video. Thanks.
Great video!!! I am a mechanical engineering student and I gotta admit that I had some regrets for choosing mechanical over electrical or computer engineering, since I very much enjoy working with circuits, magnets and computer programs as well, and I felt pretty limited to be honest, but then I discovered mechatronics, which combines all three and I couldnt be happier!! Im definately doing a masters in mechatronics.
Oh cool, glad u found where u belong
Wait you can just like that do a master can you explain?
@salihjamakovic4697 I've heard stories of mechanical engineers who can do a masters in mechatronics. Not sure if this is true or not
I plan on starting college this year, I knew I wanted to be an engineer, but I wasn't sure which type. Now I know for certain, I want to go into mechatronics, the variety is really good. Thx for this vid, bro, I wasn't aware that mechatronics was a thing.
So what did you get? Im in your shoes right now , Im thinking what course to take in college.
@@Shaine5149 A few months after I commented this, I decided on Software Engineering. If you're interested, I highly recommend Computer Science. I absolutely love it.
Thanks bro. this video really help me out lol didn't know which one to take yet but know am sure 👍
I’m glad it helped you! Which one r u going with?
Nice video, Good job bro
I'm aplying to mecatronics as first option and to mechanical as second option your video was really clear for me thank you
Happy you liked it and I hope you get in!!
Very informative 👍
Hi, I recently started the mechatronics degree program. I'm from Sri Lanka. In our university, both of the degrees are offered by the mechanical engineering department. We have more software and electronic-related subjects such as Signal Processing, Microprocessors, and Interfacing Power Electronics and Motor Drives.

Thank you dear❣️
I am doing bsc engineering in mechatronics and industrial engineering.
Lots of love for suggesting my favourite subject.
just the perfect video recommendation i finished my competitive exams in india and wanted to take BE in mechatronics.. but was not sure about the subjects now my doubts are clarifed..
Happy you liked it :)
bro,does iits offers mechatronics?
and what its scope in India
I'm prepairing for jee
Really great video
Thanks :)
In some schools, Linear Algebra’s prerequisite is Calculus 2.
Can you make a separate video that goes in depth to mechatronics engineering 🙏
Currently I am confused between architecture and mechatronics...I like tech and designing cool stuff. I have interest in designing, robotics and aerospace engineering
Great vid man love the quality what do you edit on?
Thanks! I use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit my videos
On the come up broski
I don't know what I'd do without your help.
can you do the different between Mechanical Engineering vs Industrial Engineering?
This was a very important video for me.💯
I had a very hard time choosing🤔
Thank you so much for explaining
Now I can decide.
I choose mechatronics too.💙
Happy you found it helpful. I’m sure you’ll enjoy mechatronics :)
Thanks a lot bro
From 🇮🇳
kya fayeda India mechatronics hai hi kahaan
Thank you bro
might you make the difference between electrical and mechatronics engineering please?
Hey, what should I do if I already have a mechanical engineering but I want to have a career in electronics and software? I don't want to start from the bottom and do mechatronics.
You should do some self-learning on ur own and do personal projects that use the skills u learned. For example, if ur interested in software, look into the course “data structures and algorithms” and do some coding projects.
From my experience as a mechatronics technician, it is a mixture of electrical, mechanical, computer engineering, hydraulics, and pneumatics. Love what I do.
i want to become a mechatronics engineer and im staying solid on it, im still about 4 years from university/college and i dont think ill change my mind :)
That’s awesome that ur so passionate about it!! You can always start doing mechatronics work in high school too
@@TamerShaheen really?? I'm a high school student in my final year...how can I start doing mechatronics work in high school please
@@nifemikazeem2975 Free online courses and stuff, some universities have them (e.g MIT Open courseware) and just personal research really
Hey Tamer, what if you take mechanical engineering major and electronics minor as your degree? Does that make you a Mechanical or Mechatronics engineer and get the corresponding jobs?
I think electrical engineering and self studying mechanical would be dope since I already did electrical engineering
Brother, I love computers and have two years of experience in programming. I tried to join the university, but I was accepted in mechanics and I have no background. Is it easy to employ programming in mechanics and satisfy my passion?
Great video! I applied to Mechatronics in UW, I hope I can get an offer :)
Good luck!! I hope u get in :)
Mechatronics or electromechanical??
Mechatroincs is very different in Australia, only a third of our degree is mechanical the rest is electrical and Computer engineering.
1/3 ME, 1/3 EE, and 1/3 CpE?
@Infinity UOW, wouldn’t recommend unless you like learning everything your self.
Im doing both
I plan on doing masters in automobiles after doing basics in mechanical/mechatronics. So is mechanical the better option for me ?
Thank you
I,m curios that will it be a good idea for me to take mechanical engineering or should i sign up for mechatronics engineering if i want to study about robotics and automation?
Seems like ur more interested in mechatronics if u wanna learn about robotics and automation.
What science is more involved in mechatronic between mechanical and electrical engineering?
Is it better to take Mechanical Engineering in undergraduate study and Mechatronics for Masters? or just take the mechatronics?
Bro, which is better to take in bachelor's mechanical /mechatronics....
Wow , this video helped me a lot, I never knew a program like mechatronics exists to be honest, so I just went online to do my research about the program in your university so I saw 5 years but for other universities am seeing 4 years can I get a response.... pls
This is an extremely informtive video! I have 1 doubt. Which engineering major is harder mechanical or mechatronics, and also do you think mechatronics is harder or electrical engineering is harder?
Electrical>Mechatronics>mechanical engineering
95+ has a chance of 82% huh? its incredible how much these stats have changed in only 2 years...
Thanks pal
Happy to help :)
I do both. My mate said doing one is better tho
I'm taking both mechanical, mechatronics, and maybe take electrical after. I may also pursue a phd in some field of physics. I'm only doing all these as a hobby. I'm not looking a job over it and just wanted to study these courses to invent stuffs like iron man as my hobby. So, will taking all these give me enough knowledge to build stuffs like drones and AI personal assistant? And... is taking master's degree of the field will gave me more knowledge than a bachelor? What if I dropout a year before the course ends, will I miss out some very important knowledge of the field?
If ur goal is to invent incredible things like that, I don’t think u need all these degrees. Just get a degree in one of the engineering fields like mechatronics for example, then learn more stuff online. The internet has sooo many resources that u can learn from cuz tbh school alone isn’t enough to equip u with the knowledge u need. Also, doing internships and working as an engineer at companies helps u learn a lot and become better too, so keep that in mind. In terms of masters, it really depends on what u choose to do ur masters in.
@@TamerShaheen I was only thinking of taking mechanical and electrical after mechatronics is because of a rumors that mechatronics doesn't offer the same knowledge value as what mechanical or electrical engineers offer. Rumors has it that you basically just learned half of mechanical or electrical engineering in Mechatronics Engineering which leads me to rather study the missing parts.
@@painyt4878 dude same i want to study for hobby only maybe i will go with Computer Engineering and do a degree in mechatronics because there are no mechatronics jobs in my country
hi so i really love cars and want to work in the manufacturing of cars but i think since cars are getting ran and controlled by software so i thought i should study mechatronics other than getting a automotive engineering degree or mechanical degree but i'm not sure so tell me please which one should i pick ?
Do i have to read all the five static dynamics fluid mechanics thermodynamics mechnical design or i have to choose only one
The entire reason why I’m interested in engineering is because I love creating and designing things which is why I chose architecture and mechanical engineering but I would love to create my own software and programs or learn how electrical systems work which is why I chose information technology and wanna do computer engineering/ science
Nice, sounds like a solid option!
I applied to RIT with Mechanical Engineering - Automotive as first choice, Mechanical Engineering technology as second choice, and Mechatronics Engineering Technology as a third choice. Got accepted to Mechatronics.
Nice. I’m studying in NJ too. Mechanical at NJIT
Do I need to take mechatronics at college if I know nothing about it
Can’t I just choose mechanical engineering and take a bunch of electronics and computer science electives?
Yea, you could definitely do that. Every university is different so need to make sure ur university allows it.
can I build drones with mechatronics?
Can we get a comparison of SYDE
Sure, will do!
whats your streaming setup?
can anyone please tell colleges and universities that are dedicated solely in mechatronics..
What if I wanted to make a self driving car and I had to pick one course. Would mechatronics or mechanical be better for me to learn.
Building a self driving car has so many things involved in it, so it’s hard to pick just one. Mechatronics might be a better option since u get exposed to the mechanical, electrical and software aspects of engineering.
Thanks
Can u make a vid going over your AIF?
Yea sure
2:43
So you tellin me you can make me the next avatar shii.. don’t mind if I do
HAHA 🤣
Mechanical is about metal moulding metal shaping then recycling
Mechatronics is about mostly electronics
Mechanical engineering is about making boilers turbines and all huge metal parts
Mechatronics is used mostly in electric vehicles
Mechanical is totally about metal shaping that's it
Let’s say I wanted to make an Ironman suit. Which course would help me more with that?
There’s a lot that goes into it, so u can’t just pick one course. I’d say materials science, manufacturing and data structures are pretty important.
My man only asks the appropriate questions ✊
Can I get a master’s in electrical engineering and computer science??...even though I have a bachelor’s degree in mechatronics engineering???
are you good at drawing? Those were some nice sketches.
Mechatronics is the subject of the future.
I'm currently between mechanical engineering and mechatronics so hopefully this video is going to make me actually decide. I was leaning more towards mechanical but now I'm not sure. Which one do you suggest for girls? How hard is it to get a job in those two male-dominated fields?
Both mechanical and mechatronics don’t have much girls to be honest. Usually management engineering and biomedical engineering have more girls. Personally, my mechanical engineering program had like 20% girls. So, as a girl, both are still good options and I think u can’t go wrong with either. In terms of job hunting, it doesn’t matter whether ur a guy or girl, most companies don’t discriminate. However, some companies actually prefer hiring girls to show more “diversity”
@@TamerShaheen I appreciate your help. Thank you for replying
I did my bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, now is it worth it to do masters in mechatronics?
It really depends on what u want to do in the future. If ur interested in doing more mechatronics work with curious or software, then it may be helpful to study mechatronics. But, honestly I always felt that the best way to learn is through work experience. But, take what I say with a grain of salt as I obviously don’t know your entire life situation is to give advice on ur career.
Make a video on how to get into Waterloo
Yea for sure
Just get a 98 avg that simple
@@TamerShaheen which one is better if my intention is doing a master in automotive engineering after one of those two majors???? What combination do you think match better???
I can’t really say which one is better tbh...they both work
What about studying btech in mech and MS or MEng in Mechatronics?
All sound like solid options.
That is my vanishing dream, i'm passing into my 3rd year mechanical engineering And sadly we don't have mechatronics in Algeria :(
It’s ok...I’m sure if ur really interested in mechatronics, then u could still get a job in that field with ur mechanical engineering degree. You could also do masters in mechatronics at a different university if that’s something you’re into.
@@TamerShaheen thank you, yes i will think more about it after having my license degree. And thank you for the video.
If I wanna be a robotics engineering, what course is more suitable for me to take? I mean the robotics engineering that makes intelligent robots not just robot arms for companies
Mechatronics Engineering is prolly a really good choice as it will teach u the mechanical, electrical and software aspect of building a robot
@@TamerShaheen one more thing... My University does not offer mechatronic engineering... It only offer mechatronic engineering TECHNOLOGY... But there is mechanical engineering
I want to know is this salary is monthly or yearly?
You misspelt technical
Can you please answer. Is it true that first year is the hardest and when you get to fourth year its really easy
Yea I found that to be true. The content may get harder, but u just get better at learning it...so overall it feels like it’s getting easier.
took me forever to realize this is true, but it is.
How to get a entrepreneur for Mechanical engineer student Please make a video full detail
I don’t understand ur question...r u asking how to become an entrepreneur after graduating from mechanical engineering?
Where did you find the spreadsheet that compares courses, is there others for even other majors? Also please talk about syde
My professor shared it with me back when I was first year. At the time, I was considering switching from mech to tron
I’ll make sure to talk about syde next, do u have any specific questions?
@@TamerShaheen Can you share it with us or how do I look at it. I was also wondering what are the specific opportunities of waterloo's mechatronics program or anything special at waterloo under the mechanical and mechatronics department (im writing my aif now)
@@TamerShaheen I decided to apply to tron so I am no longer interested in syude
is tesla autopilot software engineering?
Yea, it definitely involves a lot of software engineering
Is getting a mechanical engineering technology degree or regular mechanical engineering degree better?
you’ll be a technician if u get the technology degree. not an engineer, working under them doing the gritty work(as far as I know, take this with a grain of salt)
A quick tip for your video making
It’s already so good and it’s very high quality. You clearly break down both engineering majors well with many pictures and that’s great!(better than most youtubers already) But slow down your speech so that people can fully understand you. Plus you’ll have more view time.
Just an idea. Great vid tho!
Also, do you learn at least a little bit of coding in mechanical engineering?
Appreciate the feedback :) I’ll make sure to slow down in future videos haha cuz a few ppl have told me that
You take like 2 coding courses. In general, the coding courses u take in mech aren’t enough to get a job coding if u don’t teach urself more stuff outside of class.
@@TamerShaheen I’m sure if you keep up the good editing you’ll make it big eventually
Sir can u tell me which is the best college in the world for masters in mechatronics..
There’s a lot of good schools...it’s a little hard to just pick one 😅
I've seen a lot of people follow into technical sales from Engineering backgrounds
Oh interesting...I didn’t seen it often, is it a common transition that engineers make later in their career?
@@TamerShaheen when you notice the potential of sales, this happens a lot!
What do you think of biomedical engineering
It’s a great engineering discipline to get into. If that’s something ur passionate about, then u can’t get go wrong with it
could a mechanical engineer student get a job as a mechatronics engineer ?
No but it can be opposite
differences between mechanical engineering and mechatronics engineering:
Mechanical Engineering:
- Focuses on the design, analysis, and manufacturing of mechanical systems and devices.
- Deals with mechanics, thermodynamics, and materials science.
- Career opportunities in various industries.
- Standalone discipline with a focus on mechanical principles.
Mechatronics Engineering:
- Integrates mechanical engineering with electronics, computer science, and control systems.
- Involves integrating mechanical components, sensors, actuators, and software to create intelligent systems.
- Focuses on robotics, automation, and smart systems.
- Requires a broader skill set and knowledge across multiple engineering disciplines.
Overall, mechanical engineering focuses on mechanical systems, while mechatronics engineering combines mechanical, electronic, and software components to create intelligent systems.
