Quite the informative video. Another lesson to all is whatever your background, university, trade school, self-taught, or a combination, be willing to work with all. No one is better than anyone else when it comes to effort and willingness to learn. I have a university education and some along with practical hands-on experience and I always treated everyone the same. Some engineers I would get annoyed with due to their ego trips. Oftentimes, they would be more wrong than right. Anyway, I am reinventing myself. Degree in mathematics with numerous courses in mechanical. I decided recently to study robotics, automation, motion control, machine vision and on top of all that learn several programming languages: C/C++ and python. I have plenty of MATLAB experience, but it seems to work in the field of robotics and automation one needs to know multiple languages.
I agree with you. There is a bit of a stigma from some of the degreed individuals. I also think it's super important to know other programming languages. It's something most programmers are missing. Computer code can teach you a lot.
I recently started an AAS for Mechatronics after completing one in Welding Technology. Thank you for these videos. They’ve been helping me get a broader scope of the skills I need to acquire.
Awesome! That sounds like a great path. Very similar to mine. I did mechanical and electrical consentrations. And mig welding as some of my electives. I appreciate your feedback! It keeps us going. Stay tuned we just recorded a few over view videos about navigating during this same period you are in. They should have them edited in the next few weeks
You’re welcome for the feedback. That’s awesome. Definitely sounds like a similar path. When I’m done with this AS, I’m picking up Maintenance Mechanic 1 by taking an HVAC class. Figured that would be a great foundation. Thanks again for what you do.
I’m have a degree in electrical control system. The only thing I was able to do is industrial electrician. I wanted to work with mainly plc, robots, automated systems. I’m willing to travel I trying to break in the automation field
If you're not already out of school I would try to do some more programming courses. I think program is a great entry point and if learning on a particular platform it can get you a job fairly easily
Thanks for this video. I'm about to start a job as a trainee electrician with the end goal of training be to be an electrician/automation technician. I already have an IT degree which they say is a boon. Your video gave me confidence that I might be able to actually make it :)

I have an hvac background with IT and got an interview for a mechanical electrical position at a local manufacturing facility. I haven’t worked in IT but have taken courses in it for my degree. I have worked in hvac (didn’t like going into peoples houses lol)…not sure if these skills translate. I did take a mechatronics course in high school and we used these weird code/schematic programs (I don’t know what they were) to make or automate a robotic devices.
Been studying automation technician for the last year, so know a decent about electronics, will start a 2 years automation engineer education on next week, Will be fun :)
Would really love to know different positions in automation and what exactly those designations do? You already touched on systems integrator and programmer as such...
hi, you can do both, but as far as AI is concerned, companies are still working on getting AI onboard in their processes and operations. there are still upcoming developments and it would be easy for you to adapt since you are one of those workforce irreplaceable by AI.

Hi I work as a technical recruiter for flextronics, we have job opened for over 40 staffs, we are currently hiring for the position of Automation Technicians, in Austin, TEXAS. Kindly send me a reply if you're interested.
@@johanngolz hi I am from Canada and currently visiting Texas. I graduated with an electromechanical diploma and had an entry level electromechanical assembly job for 1 year. Is foreign workers with H1 visa something your company interested in?
Its a never ending learning field
That's the truth

I got a certificate in industrial automation and industrial maintenance
You deserve more subscribers
Alot of Precise and useful info
Thank you very much! One day they will come!
Awesome brother. I'm finally getting to go to school this year for automation and robotics.
Awesome!!! You won't regret it. Probably one of the best things you can do.

Thank you very much!
I just graduated yesterday, watching this video today lol
Awesome! I wish you all luck in your career
In wich field did you study? If you don't mind asking
@@Don-kk7ou Automation and industrial IT
Been studying automation technician for the last year, so know a decent about electronics, will start a 2 years automation engineer education on next week, Will be fun :)
Yes, automation and manufacturing is really fun! Good luck in your studies!🧐🧐🧐
Great video. Thanks
Thank you Shawn!
Great Video and good advice!
Thank you Tony! Appreciate it!
brilliant content mate
Thanks, mate!
Apparently they don't just have maintenance technicians to fix broken robots. you gotta know how to automate and program as well.
Ya generally they learn it on the job and that's for companies that generally have a ton of robots.
Would really love to know different positions in automation and what exactly those designations do? You already touched on systems integrator and programmer as such...
Good point. Maybe we can launch a series of different job titles and go into details of each.
Sir should I learn the industrial automation course or I should do DATA Science aka AI ???
I'm interested in both.
I'm a mechanical engineer.
hi, you can do both, but as far as AI is concerned, companies are still working on getting AI onboard in their processes and operations. there are still upcoming developments and it would be easy for you to adapt since you are one of those workforce irreplaceable by AI.
Is this field the same thing as Mechatronics/electrical mechanical?
Yes it falls in alignment very well. Mechatronics can be more broad as it's anything electro/mechanical.
I'm doing an AAS electrical and telecomunication Techonology degree , can i get in the field with this degree?

Did you happen to crate the video on terminology?
I don't think we have. Let me make sure it's added to our list.
Vision?! I don’t quite understand what is it? In Industrial Automation field
Vision inspection, vision location, etc. there are end of line inspection systems or even a part of the automation process in robotics.
How much coding is needed in the field?
There is a ton of demand for it and within a couple years someone should be able to program some things on their own.
Is Java script still useful to learn?
Yes, it always is.
lol 16 mins long, happens to me as well
Loved this video. Just don't wanna be the one to ruin the 69 likes
hahaha. Good one
In the industrial automation what? Yes, indeed, the *the* shouldn't be there.
thanks for your feedback.
