Im currently a third year mechatronics student in Australia. We call it our degree "Robotics & Automation Engineering", and it sums it up pretty nicely.
Robotics isn't the same as mechatronics engineering , robotics are so specific on their field.
I'm a 3rd year mechatronics engineer aswell .
Iron man engineering?
Great Idea! I'll run it by my superior!
Nyc😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That’s what I told some kids at the job fair 😂
Mechatronics Engineering is the "Jack-of-all-Trades" Engineering, but with more in-depth understanding of a specific subject than one or more different specific types of engineering. The subject depends on the industry you decide to go into. For example: If you're going into an industry that's very Mechanical Engineering-focused, you're going to have a more in-depth understanding of a specific part of mechanical engineering than even a Mechanical Engineer. Why? Every specific engineering branch only provides a broad understanding of every concept of that branch, but never dives more deeply into it.
1. no music check
2. informative check
3. subscribed check
In Brazil, Machatronics engineering is officially called "Control and Automation Engineering" hahahah. Love your videos ✌🏻
The multi-discipline should have been name Megatronic Engineering. 😁
I love that idea! Should pitch that to the marketing departments.
lets be real if i cant be iron man, there's no point in trying
Facts
Everyone's want's to become iron man but no one talk about he's genius at that much that he become specialist in thermonuclear astrophysics in one night and also make a time Machine in 10seconds and also make an impossible mini arc reactor in a cave 🧐💀🚬✌🏻🕶️
this is so gr8
What's so confusing about MECHanical engineering + elecTRONICS? Everyone past grade 6 should be capable of understanding this.
1:00 i agree!!!
i always try to keep it simple but then i go off by saying like “oh but i also can do this!” and i end up confusing my entire family so i just tell them i program/wire robots lmao
Yup! That's how it goes :P
Embedded ideally is a different field so is Robotics and Automation. What Mechatronics technically stands for is the pathway to learn intelligent systems and by intelligent I mean to develop a system that functions automatically without or with less involvement between humans and machines. So the field is broad but it depends where you need to incline more towards which area. One thing is sure that you (Mechatronics) will have a better understanding of how systems interact with each other compared to other fields.
I totally agree, robotic and automation are different fields in themselves. As you said mechatronics would allow you to get to wherever you lean towards. Worked with the names off the top of my head, so I didn’t have to most refined idea of the fields.
Thank you so much man. Your video really helped me.
What is the difficulty of Mechatronics compared to other popular engineering fields (mechanical, electrical) be? Also what are some examples of projects you would do in Mechatronics?
I love this video dude. . . it's perfect
this was fantastic, what would be great ideas to begin creating for mechatronics as a 18 year old?
In my dream school, it is called, "Robotics, controls, mechatronics, and weapons engineering", and it's website often switches between 2 of them for brief descriptions.
im in the 8th grade and want to study mechatronics, specifically robotics, i am very fascinated by mechatronics engineering and robots, and hope to become a mechatronics/robotics engineer!
Great idea! Robots are pretty sweet and mechatronics is a great starting point
Great vid, keep it up
Thanks!
In my country (Poland) every technical university has mechatronics major for ages. In some you gravitate more towards robotics, some more towards CAx and some in metrology. It waries in every uni. However everyone connected to technical field knows what it is.
Czesc! ale fajnie! nie wiedzawem ze Mechatronic jest znany w Polsce. moja mama jest Polką i mam rodzinę w Polsce. Potrafię mówić lepiej niż pisać, ale Google Translate mi pomaga :P.
@@OliverFoote outside of tech field I have to explain it, but when you go to Job interview rarely get asked what it is.
@@OliverFoote I was so surprised by your response in Polish that I thought that YT was doing some kind of New tricks
Haha. My last name is very misleading. Good to hear that people in the tech field understand, that’s where it matters. I’ve recently had a few internship interviews and as you said I haven’t been asked about it yet, so it’s looking good for the future too. I’m still going to try and educate the general public about it, plus I enjoy making the videos so its a win win I think 😛
@@OliverFoote Yes, totally. My grandmas still dont remember it and its enough for them to tell that Im going to be an engineer. And I loved your video about jobs. I know that I want to go more towards programming robots in factories, but it still gave some insight. I have already sent it out to some friends
Thank You, You are an Angel...
I really needed this..
a bit more detail would be appreciated
Thanks for the reply, I'll keep it in mind for the future :)
his newest vid might help out a bit with this!
Lol 😂, that's the same reaction I get after telling someone my field of study.
Personally (mechanical engineering student considering a masters in mechatronics) I think the name mechatronics engineering sounds badass af. Also, since it's a fuse of the name mechanical and electronics, it was obvious to me what it focuses on. This might be cause I'm in the field already though.
Yeah for us it's easy. But I think for people who know nothing, they would not be able to wrap their head around the name mechatronics. For example last week I tried to explain to an optician what the title means, and it was the usual going in circles and ending up just saying 'robots'
@@OliverFoote Yeah, I went and visited my brother today and asked him, he had no clue what the name was haha. He got the concept when I explained it to him fast though, but he's a smart dude.
Your videos help me a lot. I am a freshman Mechatronics Engineering student but I am thinking of switching my major to CS/Software Engineering mainly because I am not sure what Mechatronics Engineers even do and what are the future job prospects. I tried searching the web and RUclips videos about Mechatronics from a Mechatronics Engineering student perspective but there aren't many of it. I am glad that I found your videos because they cleared up my confusion and opinion about the Mechatronics Engineering.
If you can, please do a video on Mechatronics Engineering programs in Australia. This program is offered in many Australian Universities; like UNSW, UTS, University of Sydney, University of Queensland and Monash University. They are somewhat popular between students here but not many people really understand about this major and like u said people just assume this major is the same as Mechanical Engineering major.
Thanks you for the video and please consider my request.
Keep up the good work !!!
I am 50 and in technology. If I were 18 again suddenly I would go into Mechatronics. I think the field has tremendous career potential and if you land on the right projects you could work on some of the coolest developments in the world.
Thanks for the interesting and funny video🔥
I have interest in aerospace, mechanical but also the electronic and software parts. should i try studying mechatronics engineering based on those interests?
Love your video
Have you known about Industrial Engineering? It is very similar to Mechatronic. Do you think they are same concept?
I'm a Mechatronics Engineer from germany, we called it Microtechnology and Mechatronics.
The road is a fun one studying this field. I was working as a automation software engineer. Then I got my recent job, where I construct and build chemical plants. IT's really fun, but my Boss keeps asking me if I'm allowed to switch on electrical systems, which I am up to 1kV, all after that is beyond me. Just Now I'm working as an Instrumentation and Controls Engineer, so basically electrical with small voltage and sensors. But since I didn't study electrical engineering, I keep getting asked if I'm allowed to switch on Electrical Systems.
Still, best decision of my life.
I've heard my teachers in Mexico call it mechanical-electronic engineering. And while not fully wrong. I think it doesn't explain it correctly. Since mechatronics engineers usually get into whatever they can, they learn a lot of disciplines for a reason.
im vibing and subed
Thanks! I appreciate it :)
Thanks dude this was really helpful
Glad it helped
👍👍😀
Great video man.
When you say jobs/internships want to see you "creating", what do you mean? Like joining clubs that work on projects? Thanks.
They want to see that you have built something that works basically. Can be through a team, but there are stats that prove personal projects are more desired.
How about some concrete examples of a mechatronics product? And what do you mean by embedded, as it applies to the field? Thanks.
Mechatronics products have a huge range. Anything where you have multiple components interacting with each other to do something can be considered an embedded system. Common ones that come to mind are robots, microwaves, 3D printers, smartphones, etc. Obviously computer or mechanical or software engineers are likely to work on these types of things too, but having that broad range of knowledge allows you to understand everything that is happening at each stage of the design and development of the product. Hope that answers your questions.
Hello Oliver
I want to do mechatronics.
Don’t have a good mathematics background or technical skills other than basic computer use. I don’t have any programming experience either. I like creating things working with my hand and robotics and what not but not sure . should I go for it. I am just trying to do programs/certification type to get into it. Any suggestions or warning ?
Well, warning engineering is a very very difficult field. But positives is 99% of the time the programs assume that you have no prior knowledge besides the high school math and physics that you need in order to apply. But another warning the cuttoff rates for most engineering schools are also pretty high. There are definitely some technical programs out there that give you less of the hard theory and more hands on. Just have to look around.
Thanks, nice video:) I totally agree that they should rename it haha
big brain, big eyes

@@OliverFoote i actually like ur glasses, whered u get them?
Drew Gooden?
Lol, I see the resemblance
Which college do you go?
That sounds really amazing. But I can’t choose between mechatronics and electrical engineering. What do you think I should do?
Both are somewhat similar. I think there might be a little more software in Mechatronics. If you want to work with computers both fields are very good. But if you want to do something from a more abstract level then mechatronics would be good for that. You get more broad skills in mechatronics, which can be applied to a lot more fields. Depends on what you want from the degree
@@OliverFoote That was helpful actually. Thank you buddy
I'm learning it but I don't even know what I'm learning so...
I am a graduate of Civil Engineering, and I plan venturing into Mechatronics Engineering for my Master's. Is there any advice someone can give me?
My dream and goal is to design and Manufacture great machinery that will change the face of Africa. (Am African by the way).
Advice will be appreciated, or perhaps What I should EXPECT during this course)
How is mechatronics different from electromechanical engineering?
Hello I am an High School Student. I wander that is hard to study as an Mechatronics Enginering than other enginering section or generally is it really hard? And also One of My question is What kind of Subjects you should be good at for This area.
I'd say its about the same level of difficulty. Math, physics, computer science, electronics.
Is it possible if a mechatronics engineer works as an IOT (Internet of things) job?
Thank you in advance, brother!!!
Yea they definitely can. Just have to have a bit of experience outside the classroom in the field. Lots of my class works for big tech.
one of my friends descirbed it perfectly he said "tony starc sh*t"
cool video
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it :)
Will it be hard for mechatronics engineers to apply for work because they do not specialize in one field? I researched about it's disadvantage and i keep on seeing this "Jack of all trades, master of none" and this "While you may have touched Mechanical and Electrical but you will not be an expert in either"
I also want Mechatronics Engineering but this puts me in a worry
Same here bro i am also worry about this only???
@@chandanmishra8361 what's your decision?
Imagine it as an opportunity for you to start in any engineering direction later.
“Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one."
Its true there are not much opportunity for mechatronics engineer in current scenario.I have completed my Mechatronics Engineering and no one from my batch got job as mechatronics engineer now everyone is working as software engineer
Can i work in Control Systems Engineering Field by a mechatronics degree?
Yes you can! In fact many of the people in my degree have done internships as a control systems engineer.
@@OliverFoote thnx
@@OliverFoote Can we have like Iron Man through the Mechtronics? And Can u Explain the Difference between🤖 AI and Mechatronics..
@@john-xb6xj In theory mechatronics would be one of the disciplines that would allow you to make things resembling iron man, but there is a lot more that would go into making the stuff you see in movies, real world engineering is very difficult. Robotics is a very specific field, people who end up doing robotics related things have to know a lot about all the different parts of the robot and that's where mechatronics becomes helpful. AI is a little more software related than hardware related, the AI stuff that is around now is just a bunch of predictive algorithms that pretty much any engineer should be able to learn with enough math skills, AI can have many applications and robotics is definetly one of them. Mechatronics on it's own focuses more on making hardware, electronics and software work together. So we bridge the gap between a software engineering and an electrical engineer, we do a little bit of both. Hope that helps.
Dude , electronics's and communications or mechatronics which engineering is better
Depends what you are interested in
But i have a question what were u looking at through out the video ???🤔🤔🙂🥵😫🤭😶🤨🥶😖😨🎃👍👻😽😻💩😽💀🤕🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
Haha, I had a screen showing myself and I forgot to look directly into the camera. Noob mistake! Working on it :)
Its all good just wanted to mention it as a joke its nothing serious 😂😂😂
How many projects have worked on and what are they?
I work on a lot of random small project, most of which I don't end up finishing. I have finished a few websites, and I also made an app that lets a student get their final grades sent to them via a text message. I've also made my own web server using a raspberry pi. I recently hacked my Nintendo Wii to run emulators on it. I'm also in the process of 3D printing and building a sumobot so that should be cool. Will probably make a video about it later.
The same happens to me! Haha
Elon Musk? Nope. Tony Stark Yup!
:)
Sounds a bit like biomedical engineering (without the biomedical part) - electronics, mechanical mechanisms, software - basically robotics.
The problem is HR and degree letters. Unfortunately, if your major isn't part of what they advertised for, You have the task of convincing them that you should even be considered as a candidate...
if they dont get it hit them with the OLD robotics engineer XD
Mechatronics Engineers are the Modern Day Gods
Agreed!
@@OliverFoote I'm also learn in that branch in my UG course
@@john-xb6xj UG?
@Inham Inm undergraduate I assume
which university is best to study undergraduate in mechatronics in UK??
I'm not from the UK so unfortunately I'm not the best person to answer that question. But usually doing a google search for 'best UK university to study engineering', and then finding the ones that have mechatronics is a good start. Forums and rankings could give you a good idea. But generally speaking any university in the UK will be a good university.
@@OliverFoote Ok thanks for your reply
@@OliverFoote Is it possible to learn mechatronics by self study without joining university?
@@s.r.b8304 Yes it is, but you would have to be extremely motivated to do it. But generally speaking you can just buy all the textbooks that students buy, and take a few less expensive online courses relating to coding, then practice some projects with circuits to simulate the practical experience you get. Then you've done what we do.
@@OliverFoote Ok thank you for your help
Same, everyone thinks I build Transformors with my Megatron degree.
Can u self educate at home
In which university are you studying?
McMaster
@@OliverFoote Do you have any idea about mechatronics and entrepreneurship?
Not to sure what you’re asking. But I have started a lawn care business and it was quite the experience. I think that going to school for ‘entrepreneurship’ is a joke. All the information you need is available on the internet, and the single most important thing is putting yourself out there to see what works for you. You’ll never know what works unless you test and fail a few times. But I do think engineering is one of the best degrees you can get and having a general knowledge of the business world also isn’t bad, but for me I’ve learned 90% of my business things from the internet and from talking to startup owners, so just put yourself out there. That’s my best advice.
@@OliverFoote Thank you for your advice
Try Computer Systems Engineering, you say it and people say "Oh so you're doing computer science?" then you describe it and they say "Oh so you're doing robotics engineering?" which is closer i guess (we share about 70% of our modules with the robotics course and only 1 core module with CS) so i just let them continue with that.
Also "We just saw the robots in the brochure and got exited" is the exact reason i took my course.
Computer systems is to quote one of my lecturers "Finding computational solutions to engineering problems" and is effectively mechatronics with a greater focus on high level code such as computer vision and machine learning to build smarter machines that can more easily integrate into human dominated workflows and production lines.
What about salary
Hey, check out my new video! I talk about salary expectations for mechatronics later in the video.
First!

When i say to anyone that I'm mechatronic engineer they say yes you are electrician yeah but i can't explain mechatronic to them 😮💨
Ah, so a Techpriest engineer
I live in B.C. Canada and I was wondering. What are good universities in Canada for Mechatronics? And what is a good way of starting early by teaching myself?
Honestly it doesn't matter where you go, you should factor in price and location more than reputation. All accredited programs are supposed to teach very similar things. But that being said reputation can still be important, UWaterloo is definitely #1, Western, McGill, UBC and McMaster are also good choices. I've heard good things about UOIT as well but I personally don't know much about them. To get started just go on forums and watch some RUclips videos of robotics projects, then order some parts and try to make some yourself. I suggest looking up Arduino or Raspberry Pi boards. Also look into coding languages that you might want to learn, Python is a good place to start. Try your best to be creative and solve problems using integrated systems and make sure to show the world what you can do :)
Oliver Foote Thank you so much. I appreciate it!
@@Barhoom743 No problem, anytime :)
a tron engineer.
Also, Cybernetics Engineering.*
I need you for something very real.
You're an INTJ!
nah i disagree mechatronics sounds better and makes sense to call it plus if u were to call mechatronics engineering just robotics engineering itd be more confusing since theres more then robotics
I still don't understand anything
Sorry about that, it is a bit complicated
@@OliverFoote all I want to know is , is mechatronics a course on it own like any other courses?
@@Chichiuchiha a course? Well, it contains physics (electronics, mechanics), math ofc and computer science's programming I guess. Maybe a bit of chemistry as well.
Idk much but that's what i think it is
You definitely look like a mechatronics engineer named Oliver 🤓
Can i be a game developers after mechatronics
Probably, but why not just go into game development?
@@OliverFoote yeah
hhahah me too
Always happens
Confussed why they don't call it, Automation Engineering 🤔🤖
