So I can reach and help more engineers! Thanks!
Leave any question in the comments - I respond to 100% of them! Do you like the new short and sweet style? Hamza and I are thinking about putting out more videos so this would be the way to do it :) love you guys thank you so much 1% Nation lets gets to 100,000 !!!!
That’s California State University ***Chico!! - a Mechatronics Engineering major at CSU Chico
Yeah I misspoke, thanks for pointing this out! Let me know what I can help you with okay? Cheers
@@JakeVoorhees I’m thinking about studying EE and the do a master in automotive engineering, do you think is a good idea or should I go for mechanical engineering????
@@jrmx2s.787 I think that is a good idea
@@JakeVoorhees thanks for the video, I think I am going to major in electrical engineering
I graduate from California State University Chico with a degree in mechatronic engineering and have no regrets. My advice is if you're going to study mechatronic engineering is to take extra classes in either mechanical or electrical engineering so you can lean more towards one of the fields. I dove more into firmware development for microcontrollers and that skill alone has helped me get both of the jobs I've had.
That means if I have done a bachelor's degree mechanical then I should take extra electrical classes
How challenging is it to complete “electronic part” in the degree program?
I'm a mechanical engineering student (couldn't get into electrical) and I was thinking of taking that path, I also realized that I'm gonna have to step up my coding game. Looks like my conclusion was a correct one :)
you might be right! What questions can I help you with right now? Have you seen my ME Job Tier list video that is pretty popular? It might help you, cheers! “Mechanical Engineering Job Tier List” ua-cam.com/video/ghxBLeEX_OM/v-deo.html
I answer everything so lmk thanks!
Arduino is a good starting point.
@@JakeVoorhees Can suggest resources to learn programming for mech eng students. Also if you have good resources where one can get their hands dirty with thing like adruino. Thanks
In the Kennesaw State Mechatronics engineering program, you'll learn C++ and python. Also, when you learn C++ you take the lecture side by side with students learning C# and Java, so there is good opportunity to self teach both of those as well.
YES!! and cool context, really like that. What do KSU students and professors say about other mechatronics programs that are not ABET? I wonder this often. thanks again love you
@@JakeVoorhees so the man who kind of spearheaded the Mechatronics department at Kennsaw said this. "To me it was important that our program was ABET accredited; unaccredited programs already are fighting an up hill battle against accredited, and unfortunately Mechatronics is not a well known field yet. To try and get a job with a field that isn't well known, and with one that isn't accredited would be very difficult." Paraphrasing a bit.
Wow that person is amazing 😊 they are super right by the way, I’m glad about this. You’re in a good situation because of it!! Cheers !!
Nice job! Really well presented, just recently learned about ABET accreditation in the US. Seems to me that there are a lot more accredited mechatronics programs in Canada.
Very cool, thanks for comment. I know who you are, as I've been looking at your channel and your videos come up when I do mechatronics research. I think you are doing the right thing in making content about one of the hottest engineering fields coming up. I like the one where you joke about telling people "i study mechatronics" and they always mishear you. Hope to chat more, thanks!
Hey! I watch your videos
*I already know, some viewers are gonna be REALLY STOKED for this one ;)*
Ya man thank you Siddu the other mechatronics video has been doing super well so ya :) thank you for always comment right away sir
I am a Mechatronics Engineer yet I am really into Computer Engineering, I did my research graduating thesis in Machine Learning using Python for example, I'm really hoping to get my masters in IT as well. I didn't really knew about the importance of ABET accreditation however I live in Honduras and we don't really have any accredited programs in here. Really interesting video, thanks.
how are you doing now? I think it's very interesting that you became a mechatronics engineering if you were in into computer engineering. It seems like you should have done computer engineering because you did python with machine learning anyway. Well who knows, this is a year old comment and I'm still stoked to hear your experience. Lmk!
YES!!!! This video is so much better. You got to the point faster, and best of all very little editing. A bit too much rambling on getting an ABET accredited degree, in my opinion. But these kinks will be worked out later. You hands are moving more, indicating more engagement while speaking, which I love. Good work.
Nicccee thanks Hamza. I did film it twice too lol. First one day out stale and low energy and second time was good. Yeah I'll get the ramble out, we'll work on it, butt head, and youre right about kinks over time. Thanks for noticing the hand stuff, appreciate you, chat soon later byeeee
@@JakeVoorhees Eventually you'll only have to film once
Every time pretty soon !! Thanks man
In the major universities in australia I believe it doesnt matter what branch of engineering you choose the base engineering degree is accedited
That’s cool yeah. Thanks for the commentZ I appreciate learning about how other countries do things. What questions can I help you with? Thanks
Hey Jake, really cool video. I’m a KSU Mechatronics major graduate myself and I could not be happier with my career path. I strongly feel that there should be more information about this major and I feel you did a great job explaining what it is and the expectations. Let me know if you want to know more about my career path I’ll be glad to chip in for all the future Mechatronics engineers out there.
Hey thanks so much for comment. I'm trying to get in touch with your school actually. Do you think you could facilitate this? I think you as one of the few accredited programs deserves more attention and I would like to feature you guys more. Please email me, hello@jakevoorhees.com
I'd love to know more about your career path and would be happy to feature you, your work, your projects - into a video. I'd love to discuss thanks so much!
Jake
@@JakeVoorhees Sent you an email.
nice thanks! chat soooooonn
Hey Eric, I’m currently at MTSU for a bachelors in mechatronics. Could I get in touch with you to ask some questions?
TRONs is a good option in Canada, I think. TRONs is so very competitive program to get into, especially at the University of British Columbia and the University of Waterloo which are all good engineering schools. I knew that cause I'm a student at both uni :). We can learn how to code and design things at the same time. That is what I think about TRONs. Every engineering major has its own pros and cons. The important thing is that you love what you do!
What are the job opportunities in Canada being Mechatronics Engineering?
I live in south Africa, and the one uni here has a mechatronics degree. I was shocked to see that the curriculum was literally 90% electrical and it had little notes of mechanical and software.
There was a non accredited program in the states I ran into where 90% of it was computer engineering (hardware) with very little mechanical.
Interesting that software is so omitted. I guess it’s mostly a circuits and device type program. What are you thinking about it? You going to do it? Cheers thanks !!
Yeah sounds similar :) thanks Montana !! You rock being in all these comments cheers
I'm also in SA and I'm really hyped to study it next year
Nice!! Have you seen my other mechatronics related video?
“What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?” ua-cam.com/video/4YjLZcQRLds/v-deo.html
Let me know what I can help you with okay? Cheers !!
I want to be a mechatronics engineer and am still in high school, about 3 years left in my school life and ill become a university student, and i hope mechatronics becomes more accredited since i really want to major in it.
It likely will. Also 3 years is alot of time in todays world. Things change very fast. Either way, if you pick mechanical, electrical, or computer engineering you would still be fine.
At this rate, we're definitely hitting 100k this year! Let's goooo!😃🏃🏽♀️
Yupppp, averaging 90 subs per day over the past 28 days so if I can get that up to 100 per day, it'll be in 2021 for sure. And yes, at this rate, we'll be there
@@JakeVoorhees hope you reach it soon
Hi Jake, I am starting a BS in ME after a career in another field. In addition to taking more CS courses as a part of my program, would you recommend/think it would be a good idea to take a coding bootcamp as I get closer to my job search? I have some experience in coding and think this may help me "lean into" that side as my eventual goal is to work in mechatronics. Thanks!
Just finished a 2 year certification program in Mechatronics. Loved the fabrication side of the program but did alot of PLC coding and found out I'm not a huge fan of it. What would be your recommendation?
Yeah I graduated 3 years ago here in mexico from mechatronics engineer, awesome career so far gives you a jack of all trades background to your career and really a mechatronics engineer most times can compete against electrical, mechanical and systems engineers for job positions and often win.
Dual CSE/EE here. Great video, got me hyped to start my career. 2nd year student. Also my CS degree is dual accredited 😳
Nice!! Yeah that is pretty baller, I think you will be pleased at where I put your majors in this video, “Best Engineering Majors | Engineering Degree Tier List” ua-cam.com/video/nfayHVJlKgQ/v-deo.html let me know what I can help you with okay? Cheers thank you
@@JakeVoorhees thanks for the video recommendation, just got done watching, also what’s your opinion on CSE vs CS
Computer Science Engineering vs CS? That seems to be just what that school is offering in terms of a slightly more theoretical degree (CS) vs more applied to applications for integrating the CS into hardware and industry, so its probably pretty similar to Computer Engineering (CPE). And therefore, here is my view on this.
Firstly, please check out this video on CE, “What Do Computer Engineers Do” ua-cam.com/video/hiL-cTbz188/v-deo.html.
Now that you know more about computer engineering, you understand there are two main branches of CE - computer hardware engineering and computer software engineering. This response will focus on computer hardware engineering vs CS, as computer software engineering and CS are even closer and we're starting to split hairs.
Secondly, its important to understand that computer engineering is not its own branch of engineering. CE is a subset of electrical engineering. Electrical Engineers often times work as programmers and software engineers after university. So again, I am using this example to point out how closely aligned the career paths are.
The primary difference between the two is that computer scientists will exclusively work on the programming aspect of a problem or project. They will troubleshoot the programming, optimize, and truly be under the hood and behind the scenes regarding what the software intends to do.
Computer engineers on the other hand are also working with the programming, but focus on the integration between the physical components and the software.
Sometimes computer scientists find themselves in a software engineering role, which is a branch of CS. Software engineers design and create new software, whereas CS does not necessarily mean you will make new software. Here is my video on software engineering, “What does Software Engineering Do?” ua-cam.com/video/h9BIkms7kBI/v-deo.html
Computer engineers are the bridge between everything. Mechanical engineers design the physical components. Electrical engineers work with the power, communications, radios, and circuitry. Computer engineers handle the integration between any of these electronic parts and the code. And computer scientists work on the code only.
Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you may have and I can help you with those. Thanks again!
@@JakeVoorhees thank you!! You should make a video on getting an MBA vs masters in engineering!! I’ve been wondering which one would be ideal!
Great okay thanks for that suggestion. Here is my view at this time for you.
Assess your personality and skills. Do you see yourself leading or do you see yourself becoming a technical expert? Both are great and both are vital when you are a senior engineer. Some engineers take the management path where they are a team leader, eventually they can run a department, then maybe a region, and then maybe become a C-Suite (CTO, COO, CIO, CEO etc) executive. These people should do MBA. It's probably 5-10% of engineers who do this.
The rest or more of the stereotypical engineers where they will be a technical expert during their career. The MS will help them become even more of a masters, and it will give you an advantage later in your career when you are against another engineer for a technical role, or even in general in your work.
Does this help and make sense? Thank you! Let me know what follow up questions you have okay, cheers
Guys, just get into EE & let's Integral Transform stuff together (and cry over overcomplicated transistor circuits too);
Sounds like a good destinyyyyy!!! :) thanks for the comment. Let me know if I can help you with anything okay? Cheers!
I'll be there with you, seems like a good plan
Can you make a video on systems design engineering? It's intriguing to me because similarly to how in mathematics there's pure mathematics and applied mathematics, I think of systems design engineering as "pure engineering" in a way.
Cool okay thank you for the comment. I have this video on industrial engineering which is often comparable to systems engineering. It may help you,
“What Do Industrial Engineers Do?” ua-cam.com/video/XiEC6o_xlaw/v-deo.html
Industrial Engineering is a great field and it’s very different from most other engineering fields. Mechanical or electrical or civil engineering, and all the rest, will look at each individual part or component and optimize them one at a time in order to maximize the sum of the parts (or whatever the objective is, which may include reduce costs, reduce build-time, etc). Industrial engineering considered the entire system wide perspective, so it looks at the full top down umbrella view. Therefore, it considers more things like human factors, and the perspectives of people working a system (ex: manufacturing), along with other things that are not raw engineering elements. Due to this difference, there is less math. Another thing that I like about IE is that it is far more diverse, having 40% women vs the standard 13% across the board. Below is a video I did on industrial engineering.
Does this help and make sense? Let me know how I can support you from here - ask any follow up questions okay? I respond to 100% of comments, cheers!
I just got into the mechatronics engineering program at Waterloo in Canada. It’s CEAB credited which is the Canadian version of ABET do you think this is fine?
So all those videos about mechatronics salary are wrong or deceiving. Because mechatronics is an associates degree, but does the salary come with a combination of degrees. Can someone explain this to me, please?
I think you meant CSU Chico not Chino. Still great information though!!
Chicooooo yup thats correctly haha sorry
When is Civil Engineering Job tier being uploaded?
I'm working with Penn State on it so in case it gets a little slowed, I squeezed this out, but I think it will be done this week, appreciate the patience, will be here soon. Can I help you with anything else in the mean time? Have you seen my other CE videos? They may help you, “What Do Civil Engineers Do” ua-cam.com/video/FssJcjOIB7A/v-deo.html

@@JakeVoorhees
I am pursuing mechanical because of the abstract thinking that is needed to study electrical. And i think i am a visual learner(which is not a compliment) so....yeah
Well the downside for me is there aren't much job in my country(Nepal)for mech so have to go foreign for job/study
I hope you make a video on masters in engineering in US and ....do international students get chance to work in company like boeing??
Thank you for the reply
I just stopped by seeing the video in suggestions page. You are really insane I just asked him about masters in robotics a couple of weeks back and he's here. And I have a question for you. I got graduated from mechanical department in 2021 and got an admit from suny buffalo for ms in robotics. It's core courses consists of machine learning, machine vision and etc. Do you think it's a good opportunity to pursue my masters in robotics from suny buffalo? Looking forward hearing from you
I think masters of robotics is fine, you just should do EE or CPE or ME for bachelors. And yes especially if they program focuses on machine learning, that is the #2 highest paying position for EEs today and MLE is the fastest growing job title in the world. See my analysis of machine learning engineer here “Electrical Engineering Job Tier List” ua-cam.com/video/6r3hG_zA8d8/v-deo.html
Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? Cheers !!
can you talk in the new video about nano tech in mechatronics
Yeah I’ll do a deep dive on nano and Mechatronics soon. I get a lot of questions about nanotechnology so yeah. Thanks for another great question ❤️ appreciate your comments !!
Hello thanks for your video. I come from Germany and we have around 135 different mechatronics courses (Bachelor and Master). Would you also recommend me to study electrical engineering or mechanical engineering or is it better in this case to study mechatronics (B.Eng) directly? Maybe I would like to work in the USA in the future (if possible), so I ask. I have also already completed vocational training in mechatronics and therefore have 5 years of practical work experience. Thanks :)
Edit:
My studies would be part-time, so I work and study in parallel. I would specialize in robotics. It is also accredited to ACQUIN.
Great video
But I'm planning to study mechatronics engineering but you say electrical engineering is the closest to it but what if I like all three of mechanical, electrical and computer should I still major in mechatronics engineering.
Hearing these number really makes you appreciate our emergency responders .
Hey Jake! I’m really struggling in choosing between EE and Mechatronics for Bachelor, in one moment I’m certain about EE but then think again if I wouldn’t be better on mechatronics. The problem is the EE major at my university has only two specialisations, Automation is the first one and Power Engineering the second one. The thing I’m worrying about is when I chose EE than I would totally miss the Mechanical part, CAD design and so on. And I couldn’t really do the masters in mechatronics if I chose EE and on the opposite I couldn’t really do masters in EE if I chose mechatronics... But I’ve never done it before, it seems exciting but I can’t know it right now if I would fall in love in mechanics.. I’ve always loved the robots, drones, electronics, 3D printing, these Arduino kits with sensors.. the programming is also not that bad but I think I like the design part a bit more. I’m doing Computer Engineering right now but all of this CPUs architecture and Networking isn’t for me, therefore I’m thinking of a change. I had basic Electrical engineering course in the last semester and really enjoyed it.
I fear I will end up as a power engineer or PLC programmer if I choose EE which has nothing to do really with electronics or robots. Could you maybe give me some kind of advice? I only have so little time less. I watched and read thousand of videos and websites but still can’t decide... best regards from Germany ^^
Hey Jan thanks so much for this nice comment. I think the way to become the most successful type of mechatronics engineer is through EE right now. Do automation. You will always have an opportunity to go from EE into ME type of roles or graduate school. How is your programming skill / interest? That is how you really know. If you are okay at programming, it would be a waste to do ME rather than EE. And this is normal that you cannot purely do mechatronics. That's what I was saying in this video. MTREs is mostly a path not a degree.
Do not go power. That is an entirely different track vs mechatronics in general. Does all this help and make sense? I love Germany, i was in Berlin and Frankfurt and Munich and loved them in 2018. Let me know what I can help you with next okay? Love you, you are going to be fine, cheers thank youuuu
@@JakeVoorhees Thanks! I think programming is okey but I’m not really passionate about it. That’s why a decided to leave Computer engineering where like 50-60% is programming.
But how would I gain later the ME skills like mechanics or CAD? Would have to learn on my own? Because none company would give me a Mechatronics job without basic understanding of these mechanic concepts, will they?
I’m really interested in designing like Martian rovers or products, devices that have mechanical and electrical parts either. Doesn’t automation mean like purely automation or production process, like programming the robots in the factory?
Regards! Yeah, I love Berlin, currently studying here.
Okay cool choice then. You can take electives in ME. And no that's not true about "no company will give me a job..." there are all types of different specializations within mechatronics. You could work within the field and never even see a physical part, yet alone touch one or design one. Watch this video which includes mechatronics, automation/manufacturing, etc it will be good for you, “Mechanical Engineering Job Tier List” ua-cam.com/video/ghxBLeEX_OM/v-deo.html
And let me know what follow up questions you have ok cheers
@@JakeVoorhees thanks for answer. So the problem ist there isn’t any single ME elective in the EE course at the university I’m looking at. It’s all about power and energy engineering and automation. That’s what Is worrying me, if I chose EE. On the other hand the Mechatronics course at the university is a bit mechanical heavy with ME subjects at about 50%, EE subjects at around 30% and programming subjects at around 20%... so you really think choosing EE would be better for me and I wouldn’t be happy with Mechatronics Engineering?
Hmm interesting, yeah I understand this is a tough situation. Does the school have computer engineering? Maybe that would have some hardware options as CPE is just a subset of EE anyways.
What you should check is that if the school's mechatronics program is accredited by the German authority on this - the ENAEE. If so, the mechatronics program will be fine. But I think you should still look @ computer engineering as they can become mechatronics engineers too. Thanks! Let me know whatever follow ups you have ok cheers thanks you
I know you said how electrical engineering is more theoretical not as hands on, but don't electrical engineers work with the electronics which are physical components?
Yeah that’s about half of the industry. Thanks for the comment. There is still quite a bit of theoretical aspects within electronics. You have the programming which is all theory. You have the circuitry and the power. The signals and controls. The telecomm that could be involved. Magnets might be there. There’s still a lot of theoretical stuff even with the hands on side. Then you have EEs who will end up on the software engineering side and never touch an electronic by choice :)

Hello, thank you for this great explanation, i have a 4 years degree in computer science and i have been working as a software developer for the past 6 years, and now i am thinking of studying Mechatronics, i really like to go more into hardware and combine both my hardware and software knowledge, so do you recommend to go more as mechanic? Or Electric - Electronic?
Please do Electronics engineering. 👍
When I was picking a major I wanted to pursue I decided to go with Computer Engineering because I love to do coding and I love to build things like circuit boards, computers, etc. But after watching this video I realized this was what I always wanted to do. But I love programing and electrical. And what I also loved about the major of CE was the multiple job opportunities I could Have. So my question is this, Should I double major in CE and ME or are there other options or is double major the only choice I have?
Do Electrical and Electronics Engineering or Electronics engineering
Love these videos
Still waiting for another one of these over civil engineering.
Yeah it’s coming, probably later this week :) thanks for the patience ❤️ let me know what questions I can help you with between now and then? Have you seen my other CE videos?

@@JakeVoorhees yes I’ve seen yours and others since I’m really debating between structural and electrical engineering to pursue since atm I’m going for my associates of general engineering
Hey thanks for the follow up. The way to know between the two is do you like programming / coding and do you want a future with it being involved with your career? Structural engineering has nearly zero coding while Electrical can have a lot. In order to be a successful EE, you must be a good programmer.
Let me know what follow ups you have thanks
I want to study Comp eng. I’m applying for a uni(Newcastle Uni) at the moment, and when looking at the offered programs. It seems that they only have what they call a “Electronics and computer engineering” and I’m not sure what that really is. Is it comp eng? A mix of electrical eng and computer eng? I’m not really sure. I looked at the module of classes and I’m a bit unfamiliar with some subjects.
May I ask you for advice as to wether to go ahead and apply for this program, or instead apply for the traditional electrical or mechanical engineering. As the the Uni also offer these programs.
Side note: I’m personally looking for a high paying degree, I really don’t care about the difficulty. As long as the job security is high and the pay is high I will be fine.
Doing mechatronics as a first year student, I definitely wanna go into the aeronautical aspect or car manufacturing
Love that, well this video is a nice crossover, so it could help you. Automotive and Aerospace are talked about here, along with Manufacturing, “Mechanical Engineering Job Tier List” ua-cam.com/video/ghxBLeEX_OM/v-deo.html
Let me know what questions you have next, thanks!
I'm starting my University in September. i am very confused between mechatronics, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering. i live in Pakistan. i need to do a degree by which i could almost get a job in ny field
Hey thanks for all the comments. Love these.
Make sure you watch this, as ME vs EE is a big difference. “Mechanical VS Electrical Engineering” ua-cam.com/video/6PJ-Yw5qVsc/v-deo.html
And this will help you understand ME vs Mechatronics,
Mechanical Engineering vs Mechatronics Engineering is a good question. Mechanical Engineering is one of the big three, and honestly one of your core engineering options.
.
There are only three engineering fields that have over 300,000 engineers in the USA - mechanical / civil / electrical. In terms of choosing between those three. I If you like taking things apart and working with physical components like automobile engines or plane parts, even the thermal side of this, mechanical is for you. Programming is not a bad skillset in this, but it is avoidable, if you like. Aerospace engineering, biomedical engineering, manufacturing engineering, etc, can be done by first studying mechanical engineering.
.
Electrical is different and requires a little more challenging math because everything is theoretical. You cannot see electricity or magnetism, for example. Plus, you absolutely must be good at programming in order to be an electrical/electronics engineer. Electrical Engineers can work with power, telecommunications, signals and controls, electromagnetics and radiation, etc. Electronics is a major subset within Electrical and this deals with circuits, microelectronics, communication technology, signals, circuit design, automation and sensing, etc. This is the type of EE that can become a mechatronics engineer.
Computer engineers are basically EEs that work on the integration between electronics and the software controlling them.
Watch these videos about the fields,
“What Do Mechanical Engineers Do?” ua-cam.com/video/5wEteXzhtak/v-deo.html
“What Do Electrical Engineers Do?” ua-cam.com/video/zRawKI6Qsm0/v-deo.html
“What Do Computer Engineers Do?” ua-cam.com/video/hiL-cTbz188/v-deo.html
Now, what is mechatronics engineering? This is actually the intersection between mechanical and electrical engineering with some computer engineering and computer science involved as well.
Here is the video about it, “What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?” ua-cam.com/video/4YjLZcQRLds/v-deo.html
Mechatronics engineers mostly want to work within robotics - that is the direction of questions I receive the most.
Since there are not so many mechatronics degrees out there today, sometimes you have to manufacturing your own within your existing engineering major as a sort of “customize your own emphasis” type of degree. First, understand that mechatronics is basically a combination of Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering with some computer programming included (plenty of that in EE). So watch this video and choose one, “Mechanical VS Electrical Engineering” ua-cam.com/video/6PJ-Yw5qVsc/v-deo.html.
Then, take tech elective courses and build relationships and do research in the direction of the other. I think EE has a stronger future than ME, so if you really like math and if you can program well, then EE is the way. Over time there will be more actual degrees for mechatronics, but for now you basically have to build it yourself. Does that make sense? Thanks! I answer every reply so let me know what follow up thoughts you have okay? Cheers thanks!
Should you pick electrical engineering for your major if you want to program and build something from scratch like a robot?
100%. EE has programming, more than other engineering paths. And it’s the best way into robotics 100% right :)
Do I need to take mechatronics at college if I know nothing about it
Thank you soooo much for sharing ur thoughts, shout out from the other side of the planet sudan, Africa 🌍✌️👍
Thank you Hamza!!! I have a Hamza on my team who is like my co-pilot so I like you already. What can I help you with right now? Cheers love you
Please can you make a video explaining the relationship between computer science degree and mechatronics
Hmm what a good question. I'll answer some of that now and probably make a video about it later.
Mechatronics is the intersection of mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering, along with computer science.
In terms of a computer science degree itself, it is highly possible to work in mechatronics for your career, but you will be destined to work exclusively on the code forever. You will not really be able to do tests or analysis of the machines, or anything like that. So you have to decide how much you really like programming vs how flexible you want to be.
You can see where this goes. If you have any uncertainty about programming, doing the more engineering route, the mechatronics route, is the way.
Even moreso, most mechatronics professionals get a degree in either ME/EE/CPE and if you are already considering Mechatronics vs CS, then you should probably do CPE.

And since computer engineering is a subset of Electrical Engineering, this video is good for you too, “What Do Electrical Engineers Do” ua-cam.com/video/zRawKI6Qsm0/v-deo.html
And a lot of computer or EEs want to work in mechatronics eventually,

Thanks so much and let me know what i can help you with next okay? Cheers I respond to every comment, thanks
i'm confused wheather i should choose power system or mechatronics , which one is the best?
This guy is just obsessed with electrical engineering. He turns every video into an electrical engineering video
Hi Jake, I am completing my AAS degree in Robotics soon and want to get a BS degree in Mechatronics. I just love the thought of being able to design things that integrate both complex mechanics and complex circuitry and would love to do this for my career which is why I want a Mechatronics degree. I've watched your videos on Mechanical, Electrical, and Mechatronic Engineering. (All of which are great videos). Hearing you say that getting this degree now I might be "Shooting myself in the foot" is a little alarming to me. That being said I know that I eventually want to get at least my Masters degree. If I get my BS in Mechatronics degree now (It not being ABET accredited), and in the future there's an ABET accredited Masters in Mechatronics degree program, would I then be able to complete that program and get my PE?
Also, if you made a video explaining ABET and what a PE is and the difference between having one and not having one, I think that would be very cool.
Hey thanks so much for the comment and watching all the videos. So here’s what’s going on. I’ve been chatting with Mechatronics engineers and apparently you’ll be okay. Mechatronics leans so much into the EE school of thought that no one cares about the PE so ABET isn’t important.
The PE is the professional engineering exam and ABET is the body that certified American universities such that their engineers can be eligible to become a PE or not.
It’s really only important with physical design stuff which is why EEs care less.
So honestly you’re good, sorry for the alarm :) it’s mostly a safety consideration in case you decide you don’t wanna do Mechatronics. Then you’re maybe going back for a masters at an ABEt program if you wanna do power engineering or hvac:)
Does that help and make sense?
@@JakeVoorhees Yes thank you. You are amazing help. I've been questioning myself whether I should even get my BS rn or wait because theres not many universities that offer mechatronics but I think I found the school that's right for me and now that you've shared that I shouldn't have a problem I feel much more confident about it. Thank you again I look forward to future videos.
Yeah you’ll be fine!! Thanks again for the questions and commentary. Glad to alleviate concerns :) let me know what future comments you have k thanks love you
Hey I’ve been trouble finding internships. Do you have any advice on where to find anything? I’m also a sophomore so I don’t know if I can get anything.
Hey thanks so much for the comment. I recognize your pic lol.
.
Hey thanks so much for the comment/question. One of the best ways to get internships or any sort of experience/opportunity or a full time role upon graduation is to reach out to people who already know you who may know someone working in the engineering niche that you are targeting.
.
About 80% of job opportunities go unadvertised. That’s right! So if you are simply applying to positions online, you are missing the lion’s share of jobs.
.
Examples of who to reach out to in order to do this properly are as follows. Maybe a professor in that niche that you have had in the past, or a leader or officer of an engineering club/society/organization in the field you are focusing on, or someone that your family knows or a family friend, or someone you met at a job fair or conference or event in that niche, etc. Join Engineers Without Borders to get experience and meet more people - there are local professional chapters you can join even if you are out of school. Go to hackathons and industry events to meet people and build more relationships and connections.
.
Anyone that you know - ask them for introductions to engineers or for informational interview opportunities if they are in the engineering realm you are trying to head now (“Informational Interview Tips“ ua-cam.com/video/nxUtpzPHKjc/v-deo.html). After that, keep in touch, and then ask about opportunities. Even volunteer roles nowadays can be a good path to paid internships. But full time graduates will not be as interested in this.
.
Does that make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have and I’ll try to help. I respond to all comments. Thanks!
Thank you your videos help alot 😊
Hey Jake, very informative video......so I just want to confirm my understanding and clear my doubts:
I like the software part of the project in line with the hardware part and I want to work with big data and AI models so what do you think which type of eng is best for me after my 12th grade.....can i take mechatronics and then master at computer or electrical eng or any other better path I can take?
They thanks for the comment. I think the first thing to consider for a mechatronics bachelors degree is can you find an in state or local accredited program for your country. Because if you cannot, I suggest doing EE or ME or CPE for bachelors. I would not worry about making choices for your masters before you are nearly done bachelors. Any engineering degree can get you into any engineering masters. But making the right decision can only be done if you have all the knowledge and experiences you will have after or nearly after university. Does that make sense?
Hmmm, yes it does.......thanks for replying
so if I have an accredited program in my country then what should I specialize and masters in mechatronics engineering to work in Big Data and AI? like which is the best specialization in mechatronics for it?
You are welcome. EE because you will have access to programming and machine language engineering
@@JakeVoorhees Ohk Thanks a lot Jake for clearing my doubt!!!
The Engineering Technology program in my college is not accredited, but it says I can specialize in Mechatronics. Is this the same as the one in the video ? I'm doing a bachelor's.
I have completed B-TECH in mechanical engineering and now I am going do master's in mechatronics or industrial engineering. So, what path is best for me Industrial engineering or Mechatronics or Is there any another course opportunity. I am little beat confused while selecting my course for master's.
Thanks for the video! My questions are: what´s the difference between automation and mechatronics, I know mechatronic is about robots, but in my country, a First level discipline is Automation with robotics engineering within as a specialty.
And another discipline is Mechanics where "Mechatronic Eng." and "Mechanical and electrical tech. education" are specialties too( I don´t figure out what´s the difference with this last one, I mean Mechatronics is EE and ME together, right?...... And my last question: what´s the soft difference between these specialties ´cause I can´t get it.. Electrical machines intelligence, "Elect. Eng and Automation" , EE and Intelligent control?? I really hope you could help me, plz..
I wanna study Mechatronics to build robots but I think robotics eng. is not as much wide as Mechatronics.. So I choose Mechatronics because as I understood this field involved AI and robots... but then I wanna specialize in astronautical eng. to build spacecrafts.. THX
Is majoring in Robotics the same as majoring in Mechatronics?
Hey thanks for the comment and question. I get a lot of questions about robotics. It is probably the most requested niche topic within engineering right now.
Robotics is a subset of engineering that sits between mechanical and electrical engineering called, “Mechatronics Engineering”. It is exactly what it sounds like. Mechanics + Electronics. I have a video on this here, “What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do? ua-cam.com/video/4YjLZcQRLds/v-deo.html
Right now as I type this in early 2021, there are only 28 programs for mechatronics engineering, vs 337 mechanical engineering programs and 315 electrical engineering programs. So it’s very common to advance towards mechatronics with a degree in either mechanical or electrical engineering.
It is possible with either approach, but I believe electrical engineering is a little better than mechanical engineering for the pursuit of this. If you lean towards ME, you should be more interested in the design of the parts and components within the robots.
As for electrical engineers interested in robotics, you can do many things. You can work with the signals and controls, the circuitry, and of course the programming itself. This video will help you decide “Mechanical VS Electrical Engineering ua-cam.com/video/6PJ-Yw5qVsc/v-deo.html
The proximity to programming is one beauty of EE, you are closer to a computer programmer / CS major than any other type of engineering. In fact, many EEs end up working at full time software engineers or programmers for their career. So yes, any EE is well suited to have a career in mechatronics and there, work within robotics if they choose.
Does that help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay, and I can help you with those? Cheers and thanks again!
This is the video I needed
FACTS 💯
Thank you so much Kevin ❤️❤️❤️
What do you think about Robotics Engineering?
I wanna pursue my bachelors in Mechatronics Engineering from the UK. So would you suggest me going for Mechatronics??
Hi Jake I have a question and I don't really know if it even counts as engineering at all but if it does what would be my job specifically. For me I would love to learn how to repair things and create things you know? Like I would love to learn to repair just about anything phones, fans, heaters, computers, tv's, etc. But what would all of that be. And as for creating things for like a company, I would like to design whatever the company needs me to. New subscriber. Thanks.
You should like a stereotypical engineering-interested type of person. I think you should watch all of these and figure out which type of engineering interests you the most,

Yeah this is what Hamza has been talking to me about. We're going to go with the "MeetKevin" style who drops a ton of videos just like this. No editing really, just him talking about something with authority at the camera and we're going to try to put out more videos this way. I didnt have any script written for this last night. After editing, i pretty much just chose the title and sat here with you and Lia and did a simple outline, filmed, hated it, refilmed, and then edited it in like 1 hour :)
This has the vibe of the original videos, I feel like we have the Voorhees back lol

@@JakeVoorhees haha. I am Just finishing my last semester of mechanical engineering for the bachelor's. But I'm getting tempted with a master's, so been reading up a lot of stuff to make sure is the right next step for me.
I've been going to school so long, that I am starting to get withdrawls... I might need a little more before going to industry haha
Hi Jake, I loved the video😊! Is there a way that I can ask you a question privately related to Mechatronics Engineering career path?
Sure yeah email me hello@jakevoorhees.com, thanks

You rock thanks looking forward to the email, cheers
@@JakeVoorhees
Pls I will really want to know between mechanical engineering and mechatronics, which one is better for a lady to study and as per job opportunities does mechatronics engineer have a better chance.
Some say mechanical engineering is better than mechatronics generally.
Also if one has mechatronics in 1st degree, which one is suitable for masters.
Thanks so much for your updates
I love robotics, can i do mechatronics Or electric engineering?
I think if I take mechatronics I can be a electric engineer and also a mech, cse so i think choosing mechatronics is best what's your opinion ?
And also in India there are 150 clgs for mechatronics 😄
Thanks for the great videos 🔥💙💙, I have a question for you, I am a 19 years old first year telecommunication engineering student and I'm not sure if I should stay in my major or move to another engineering major. So what would you advise me ? And what do you think ?
+ I wish if we could see more of telecommunication engineering videos in your channel ❤❤
Sir please do for Biomedical engineering as a career path for both mechanical engineers and electrical engineers.
Okay I will add it to the list :) have you seen my existing BME videos? First make sure you watch this,
“What Do Biomedical Engineers Do? ua-cam.com/video/jVwEFp8yfU8/v-deo.html
Here is another BME video that interviews a biomedical engineer who went to Cornell for her MS in BME and ended up at NASA for an internship, “Life of a Biomedical Engineer | Should I Do Biomedical Engineering?” ua-cam.com/video/zn0hmb32pwM/v-deo.html
Does that help and make sense? I respond to 100% of comments so let me know what your follow up questions may be, okay? Cheers and thanks again!
@@JakeVoorhees sir I have seen Your videos .They all are very helpful but I want you to make one dedicated Video regarding the comparison between mechanical and electrical branches in biomedical field. Which branch is more preferred .As I'am mechanical engineering graduate what type of skill sets are required, job profile & growth in that field . Does mechanical engineer can work in core of biomedical field or does mechanical can perform the electrical engineers role also.
Sir plz make a video regarding the same as like mechatronic one.
Hey thanks so much, I do have an ME vs EE video, “Mechanical VS Electrical Engineering” ua-cam.com/video/6PJ-Yw5qVsc/v-deo.html , but there are so few biomedical engineers, that I'm not sure if that video will be able to be made for a while. As an ME, you can work in biomedical, in fact I encourage people who want to work in BME to do just this - major in ME or EE and pursue BME later.
Have you seen these videos, they could help you too, “What Do Biomedical Engineers Do? ua-cam.com/video/jVwEFp8yfU8/v-deo.html

Does that help and make sense? I respond to 100% of comments so let me know what your follow up questions may be, okay? Cheers and thanks again!
Why do I find most people who call themselves mechatronics engineers come from mechanical engineering and not electrical? Is it because there's less mechanical jobs than electrical but twice the number of graduates? If not I need an explanation.
Another comment is that electrical systems are physical systems they are as real as the mechanical ones, so don't touch high voltage conductors please!
And also EEs could work on modeling mechanical systems to design control algorithms and systems.
Hey thanks for the comment. Good observations.
There are 328,000 EEs employed in the USA as per BLS and 316,000 which is under a 4% difference.
If you consider graduate degrees, lately there is about 41,000 ME degrees and 32,000 EE degrees (more graduate degrees here) so thats about a 25% difference, so not crazy.
I think its more internal to ME than with EE alone. A lot of EEs become programmers - MEs dont have that option. A lot of EEs become computer engineers. Telecomm engineers. They work with electronics, signals and controls, aerospace engineering, etc. Even the more basic power engineering is pretty cool for EE. Most things are cool. They get paid more and its harder math, etc.
There isn't a lot of cool things in ME besides mechatronics, at least thats my opinion, so most MEs dream of doing that. For EEs, the highest paid salaries are all baller like smart phone engineers, machine learning engineers, communications tech engineers - they make so much money. Robotics engineers are 9th on the list for EEs in salary, so its not even that great of an option for them honestly. It can be, but because of the access to programming related roles, anything closer to the physical word isn't as lucrative.
And no I have to disagree that electrical systems are comparable to physical. It's not true in the science, and its not true in the application of the science. You cannot see electricity typically. You cannot see magnetism. You can see the impacts of these things, but the actual essence of them is theoretical. So its harder to understand, harder to engineer, and more well paid because of this. Also, you cannot see code either. This is also theoretical. So EE is higher theoretical vs ME being more physical and spatially understood.
And for your final statement, yes. EEs can literally work and do anything because they cross over into so many skills and understandings.
I hope this helps and makes sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? I answer everything.

@@JakeVoorhees Thanks for the reply Jake, I think your explanation makes far more sense than what I've heard before, I think the move in technology is from mechanical technology to electric technology and from electrical hardware to software, for examples thermal engines are being replaced by electric drives while analog radio transceiver used in satellites for example are being replaced by software-defined radio so mechanical engineers are working more on electronically related things like mechatronics and controls while electrical engineers are working more on software related things like artificial intelligence and embedded software.
Yeah this all sounds about right to me. Thanks for the insights. I guess it goes full circle into your understanding now. An your analysis on the evolution of things makes sense as well. Cheers and thanks again, let me know how I can help you with any other questions okay? Thanks!
You probably get ask this a lot but do you think computer science or electrical engineering is a better degree for learning programming. Both of the programs at my school are ABET accredited and I’m more interested in the software than the hardware side. I’ve been watching your videos and have been really enjoying them.
Hey I ranked both of them in this video, and thanks for the comment by the way ! “Best Engineering Majors | Engineering Degree Tier List” ua-cam.com/video/nfayHVJlKgQ/v-deo.html You seem like a good candidate for a pure CS major, and thanks so much for watching the vids! This is one of the best ways to help is to comment and like things, cheers love you! Ask me whatever follow up questions you have okay? thanks i answer everything
What if the mechatronics engineering degree provided by my school is accredited.Should I choose it
Mechatronics engineering technology is soon to be accredited at northern Kentucky university I believe.
Very cool thank you! Are you considering this school? Cheers thank you
Your videos help a lot
I think nanotechnology could help space exploration tremendously. What are you thoughts on a dual degree of applied physics and an computer engineering(or any field of engineering)? The program is offered by Jackson State University in Jackson, Mississippi. My goals are to invent and innovate nanotechnology, and utilize dark&anti-matter for sustainable plasma. Like a arc reactor. Also would love to create a solar surfer one day.
Hey thanks for the cool comment. So they offer this program as a double major? I guess so, wow. It's just 4 years? It sounds really cool but with something like a computer engineering degree along, you would be able to get all the same jobs as with the dual degree. Especially if you took tech electives in the direction of aerospace, interned at aerospace firms, built relationships in the direction, did clubs/orgs/societies in aerospace, etc. But if you are into it and it suits your needs, sure great sounds good. Seems like they may offer it as a 5 year program, so be careful, they could just be trying to get you to go for one more year :) Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? Cheers!
@@JakeVoorhees the program requires only 30 credit hours in Engineering at any college you want; while the rest of the credits be applied physics. I'm getting my Associates of Science degree in engineering fundamentals from embry riddle aeronautical University. Hopefully that AS degree will count as the 30 credit hours of engineering then I would just do a extra semester of classes during the summer at Jackson State University for Computer Engineering. I still have to call and verify that I can do what I mentioned above. If I can that would be nice to get to have 3 degrees in 4 years.
Yup that’s a pretty baller setup. And then what’s the dream job situation after? What’s the goal? Thanks again!!
hey jake! I have been following your channel for quite some time now and I really love your content. I am a second-year mechanical engineering student and I am really interested in the designing and analysis part of robotics. do you have any advice/tips for me on how to proceed and what are the skills that I must develop?
nice! congrats on ME major. thanks for the comment. So by design and analysis, do you mean designing the physical parts and analyzing their performance, making changes to the design, and repeating this process? thanks again let me know i answer everything
@@JakeVoorhees Yes! that's what I meant😅...also can you make some videos on design engineering or product design engineering? there's a lot of confusion related to this field and we would really like to know more about it!!
I have gotten a lot of questions about this, "What about Design Engineering" especially for the “Mechanical Engineering Job Tier List” ua-cam.com/video/ghxBLeEX_OM/v-deo.html video.
.
Most engineering is design engineering in some way, so it's actually baked into almost every role. When you get into software and chemistry and things that are nearly 100% theory, it changes. But if there is any physical element at all, there is design.
.
I should have stated this more often in the “Mechanical Engineering Job Tier List” video. For example, mechatronics engineers will be working on some new design, or modifying some existing design of a mechatronic system. Power engineers will be designing a power station or system. Instrumentation engineers, designing parts to the instrumentation sector. Automotive engineers will design engine parts, etc.
Engineers are mostly designing, or testing a design, or analyzing those tests, optimizing a design, observing the design in the field, writing a document or report about the design, presenting the finding on the design, etc. Everything is design, generally.
Does that help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? I respond to everything, cheers and thank you!!
Humans can't be transported by wireless method. If the concept of portals come into reality then we can think. But yes I agree to the coding skills requirements
Haha true and thank you. We will always need some physically created things. Especially mechatroincs, ME, and EEs. Have you seen these other videos that you might like?

is Simon Fraser University Mechatronic Systems Engineering accredited?
Hey I lived in Vancouver for 4 years so I know about SFU actually :) Yeah so here it says that the program is CEAB accredited so you can have access to the PEng, which is fine for Canada www.sfu.ca/students/calendar/2019/summer/faculties-research/faculty-applied-sciences/Accreditation.html eventually it will most likely gain ABET like other canadian engineering programs have within their civil, mechanical, electrical, etc programs.

Is Bachelor of Technology in Mechatronics in any major universities
Applied Math Major here, trying to switch into engineering. Are there other possible paths to work as a mechanical engineer if someone has a b.s. in math or a physical science?
Hey thanks for another good comment. It's so hard to get a career going with a math or physical science or physics or biology or chemistry degree no matter what. Sure people do it. They just are not as employable vs engineering. It is very common for math majors to go to grad school in engineering, usually something like electrical engineering actually.
Your ticket into whatever you want is probably date science. You can end up there without a MS but a lot of people do end up going into data science via an MS and then they go into machine learning after that. I think thats your ticket. How does that sound to you? Thanks!
I would suggest an M.S. in information systems, engineering technology, or computer science.
@@chriscosby2459 thanks for that! Did you do any of these programs by any chance? Thanks !!
@@JakeVoorhees Yes, I have a B.S. in math and computer science. I later earned an MBA, and an EdS in industrial education with about 24 graduate hours in Engineering Technology. I am currently completing an EdD and I want to work on an MS in manufacturing engineering technology after that. You might mention engineering technology on one of your videos, I like engineering technology because the work is more application and less theory. I have watched several of your videos and you are doing a great service. Thanks a lot for helping the engineering profession.
Very cool, so what do you want to do for your career? Let me know your goals and I can help you with those. Engineering Technology is cool, as like you said its more applied and about the implementation of the tech vs the design and theory and analysis of the tech.

Can a mechanical engineering major get a job as an electrical engineer?
Sure can, especially if like mentioned in this video, the mechanical engineer takes enough CS courses and leans into the electrical and programming side of the courses and major. What sector focus are you considering? Thanks and let me know so I can help more, cheers!
hi! this video was really informative, but do u think that taking a mechatronics degree over an electrical/computer engineering degree will significantly put me at a disadvantage if i want to pursue a job in robotics? i live in the uk and mechatronics degrees seem to have the same accreditation as other engineering degrees. the mechatronics courses have modules that i really want to study so i would love to get your input on this :)
I think you’ll be fine. Especially if you focus on programming as a skill and you like it as well. That’s the main path into a mechatronics career as a mechanical engineer. And ya you should always be emphasizing the stuff that attracts you the most and interests you the most. Does that help? Thank you
@@JakeVoorhees yes this was very helpful thanks! :)
Cheers!
Damn I graduated recently and I majored in mechanical engineering but I did minored in electrical engineering does help my chances
Yeah of course! Thanks for the comment. I think that legit already makes you a mechatronics engineer bc you must have taken enough EE courses for the minor. Well what are you up to in your career now? Must be something cool I'm sure. What are you trying to figure out too? Cheers thanks!

Thanks Momen !! Getting snow here today and thinking of you lol
@@JakeVoorhees we have lots of it here in Iowa lol. Hope it gets warmer soon!
Ya Iowa is frozen :-| lol how’s classes?
@@JakeVoorhees classes going good so far, just trying to stay on top of it!
Nice, study tips here hahahahaha ua-cam.com/video/53A-3T5_2zE/v-deo.html thanks
Awesome to see this. Mechatronics engineering student over here. KSU
Oh btw @Jake, KSU is working on a Masters for Mechatronics as well and there was talk that it might be launched next year.
@@montanajones7709 that's good, Kennesaw State? The one that is accredited? That is AMAZING!!! I think you told me this before in the comments, bc of course I cannot forget your awesome name lol what are you up to this week? Cheers thank you !
@@JakeVoorhees I downloaded unity, Visual Studio, Audacity, and photoshop. Was thinking of taking some time next week during spring break and learning a bit of game designing/developing. Also, yes. Kennesaw State University. Their engineering degrees are done at what used to be southern poly tech. Love the program and instructors, Mechatronics has been amazing thus far.
Very cool and very cool. What are you trying to learn by tinkering with all those programs? Let me know if you have any questions about any creative content. I know a thing or two. Thanks !!
@@JakeVoorhees part of my inspiration as an engineer is game designing. People ask me all the time "If you want to design games, why not just get a game design degree, instead of an engineering degree?" To them I answer, because engineering develops skills needed to be successful in all aspects of life. One of the greatest things I've come to love about engineering and the people in engineering, is none of them think they know everything, in fact 100% of the ones I've met know that they know very little of what there is to know. Every engineer I've met continues to learn and grow, keeping up with changing technology and theories, and studies. By being an engineering student I have the drive and set of mind I need to also be a game designer. That's why Engineering and not game design lol. I know, just gave you a paragraph.
Nice Content.
Please consider making a video about engineer and entrepreneurship 🙏🙏
Yupppp thanks for this comment. I want to make so videos about how there’s more billionaires w engineering degrees than any other type of degree, and there’s more F500 CEO engineers than any other other degree, etc
Let me know what follow up questions or anything I can help you with okay? Cheers thankkkkssss
Hi I have completed BE mechatronics engineering at 2017 and completed mechanical design course in AutoCAD,solidworks,catia and ansys
But did get job in design field,can u suggest any unique course to study to get job in Mechatronics may in robots course too fone but I need to know ,the course should help me in future
Its confirmed, Jake Vorhees is a legend.
Thank you ! Appreciate that, let me know what I can help you with okay? Cheers love you
Since south africa does offer a mechatronics engineering degree, would you recommend one to do it or not?
It really depends on you, the accreditation, and so much more. If you are not super passionate about it, I would recommend one of the bigger engineering types and just focus on the robotics side of things.
Hey thanks for the comment. Yeah just because its not ABET, it could still be accredited in S Africa, so check into that. Which uni?
And like Hamza said, maybe you can do EE or ME or CPE and focus on MTREs for a concentration. Here is more info on that, these will probably be helpful as well:
“What Do Mechanical Engineers Do?” ua-cam.com/video/5wEteXzhtak/v-deo.html
“What Do Electrical Engineers Do” ua-cam.com/video/zRawKI6Qsm0/v-deo.html
“What Do Computer Engineers Do?” ua-cam.com/video/hiL-cTbz188/v-deo.html
Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? I respond to everything, thanks again!!
thanks for answering questions Hamza cheers and thanks for all these good ideas lately
@@hamzawaheed7670 In my country, Kenya, it is accredited. So it likely is accredited in SA. They have a better manufacturing base
@@mwanikimwaniki6801 ok then in that case, follow Jakes advice and ask yourself if you are completely certain this is what you want to do. A mechatronics major cant do an ME or EE's job or get that job as easily, as an ME or EE can get a robotics job. Remember, you can always go specific later.
Hello Sir, I have a question regarding the courses, Sir I have gotten Bachelor's degree in EEE (electrical and electronics engineering) will I be able to pursue master's degree in Mechatronics with that?
I am planning to do my undergrad in UK ( UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON) but i wanted to know since all the courses in UK are 3 years and the masters is 1 year will it be a downsside when I try to get a job outside UK cause in most other countries undergrad is 4 years and 2 years masters
Hey Jake, I am currently a mechatronics student and I learn AI by myself. I also intend to get a master's degree in the electronics area. Will this help me solve the ABET issue?
Yeah pretty much. Thanks for the comment. But I was chatting with a KSU mechatronics engineering graduate who took an electrical engineering role with just two years of experience for $90,000 in Atlanta so that’s pretty good for an electronics role I think. He didn’t even have a masters and says he gets head hunted all the time. Let me know what I can help you with next okay? Cheers thankssss
@@JakeVoorhees actually I just want to get out of my country and work in a country such as Germany, US. I thought by getting a master's degree in another place, I can get a chance to leave my country and also have enough time to find a workplace but I'll figure it out in the future. Thanks for replying.
Right okay, I see, thanks for that. Yeah getting masters in another country is a pretty decent way of ending up starting your career there. That is what I noticed while at grad school in the US. The students from China and Pakistan and India would get jobs right after graduation so they didn't have to return home right away and could do it if they wanted to, etc. Let me know how I can help you next thank you !
Am i the only one confused why mechatronics engineer isn't that popular isn't it a mix of one of the biggest kind of engineering shouldn't it be one of the best kind and not something being barely looked at as engineering
Hey thanks for the comment. It’s just newer honestly. Even EE hasn’t been around too crazy long and Mechatronics is still in its infancy. So it’s actually really popular with students. I get more questions about Mechatronics than any other category. It’s university programs that haven’t caught on yet :) let me know what follow up questions you have okay? Cheers thanks !!
Thank You for the answer
But so the biggest problem with mechatronics is the education system is behind with it. What if you take university abroad that is caught on with mechatronics would it then be a good idea or is mechatronics in general just a little ahead of it’s time.
Bro, from your pov which engineering field is the best for future and salary ?
Jake, Im current a mechatronics engineering student and will be attending MTSU once im done with my mechanical associates. I want to design and build robotic prosthetics, shoukd i go for my masters in Biomedical after and really refine this?
Also, a mechantronics engineering degree at MTSU leaves you 1 math class from a mathematics degree, very math intensive
I live in california and can get into csu chico for mechatronics abet accredited. Should i go for that or do the electrical or mechanical degree? Ahh, jake explains in end.
Would you recommend against going to one of the three schools that are ABET accredited in mechatronics? Or if the option is available would it seem like a fitting idea to then get a job in mechatronics through that route?
Yeah those schools are great, I would recommend staying in your state and paying in state tuition and doing EE firstly but ME if you dont like the programming side of things.
@@JakeVoorhees okay so majoring in EE would be better than majoring in mechatronics even if going to one of those schools.
What if you’re into computer science n mechanical
Lucky for me KSU is only an hour away from me 👀
I am currently a junior student majoring in Electrical engineering at western Michigan university. What courses or programs are there to step up my chances to becoming a mechatronics engineer/ ml engineer
Take as much ML type programming courses as you can. Robotics and computer vision and anything that is related to self driving cars, so I know that is a big industry in Michigan. Try to get internships in ML or companies that higher MLEs, build relationships with professors who have connections to the industry, do research in that realm, or teach classes related to it. Seriously, build relationships with those professors. My traffic engineering related professors changed my life with their connections. Does that make sense? Have you see my EE video where I rank MLE as S-Tier? “Electrical Engineering Job Tier List” ua-cam.com/video/6r3hG_zA8d8/v-deo.html, it could help thanks
thanks and chat more soon, love you
Thanks a lot for this video! Btw would mac laptop be a gud choice for mechatronic course?
Thanks for the comment. Engineers usually avoid Macs just because the cost per unit of programming power in the CPU and RAM, along with the price per SSD gigabyte is much cheaper, and engineers usually want more power. Plus, sometimes niche software programs are for PC only so for that reason I cannot suggest Mac 100% does that make sense? Thank you and let me know any follow up questions ok cheers
@@JakeVoorhees ahan.. thing is imma Apple fan so I was thinking of converting to Apple ecosystem.. New Macs coming in are pretty gud isn't it?
I mean ya go for it and if you have any issues you can figure it out from there ❤️
Smartphone is consider in which subgroup for electrical engineering?
Hey thanks for the video. Smartphone engineers are in their own category as reported by IEEE-USA in their salary report, as you can see here in this video which is why they are #1 “Electrical Engineering Job Tier List” ua-cam.com/video/6r3hG_zA8d8/v-deo.html
In order to be a smartphone engineer, you must have solid knowledge of circuits, microelectronics, communications technology, telecommunications, optical sensors, touch screen technology, circuit board design, facial detection, and more. This is why they have such a high salary of $215,000 median after benefits and bonuses. This number often reflects an advanced degree and a lot of experience, but that is the reported median among smartphone engineers for their 2019 report. This means some engineers are making into the $300,000 range most likely.
Does that help? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? Thank you!
Can this career be applied in UAV industries?...
Absolutely. Many mechatronics people want a career in drones or robotics
