- Hey! Thanks for stopping by! Today I go in depth about a common source of confusion for many people, how does Mechatronics differ from Mechanical and Software Engineering and how are these disciplines the same. Let me know what you thought of the video in the comments and what I should cover next time! Don't forget to like and subscribe!

My Details of the three different paths (Summary included)
1) Software Engineering:
• Specialization: Creating and testing code commands, or programs (A bunch of code commands), then applying that code to any Computer-Aided device.
• Skills:
- Technology Design
- Complex Problem Solving
- Critical Thinking, and more.
• Fun Fact: Speaks Binary, or Code. (I’m just kidding, I was making a computer joke)
• In short: If you’re fascinated with how coding controls anything software, and only want to program, and don’t want to get your hands very dirty (not an intentional insult), go into Software Engineering. An example of what Software Engineers do is creating the “behind the scenes” of websites, apps, databases, anything that’s added to the “Cyber Realm”.
2) Mechanical Engineering:
• Specialization: Building mechanical systems, and/or parts used in mechanical systems, such as gears, pulleys, shafts, wheels, etc.
• Skills:
- Effective technical skills
- The ability to work under pressure
- Problem-solving skills
- Creativity
- Interpersonal skills
- Verbal and written communication skills
- Commercial awareness
- Teamworking skills, and more.
• Fun Fact: Every Mechanical Engineer’s fantasy is to have their arms and legs replaced with EXO arms and legs (look up Destiny EXOs for more information on them if you want), so they can feel like a cyborg (This is also a joke. It’s not fair to only tease Software Engineers, and not do the same to the others).
• In short: If you want to work with machines, or cars (example), build machines, you like Physics and Math, and don’t want to need any programming skills or experience, or very minimal skills or experience, go into Mechanical Engineering.
3) Mechatronics Engineering:
• Specialization: Combining the knowledge that specific engineers such as Electrical Engineers, Electronics Engineers, Software Engineers, Mechanical Engineers use, and integrate those general concepts to design, build, test, troubleshoot, analyze, and a bunch of other steps, in industries such as mobile robotics (my favorite), factory manufacturing, and others. Although, as the UA-camr mentioned about Mechatronics Engineers having their own unique specialization that sets them apart, he’s right. Because the field of Mechatronics will gravitate more to one area than any other all the time, often gravitating for several reasons, and because it gravitates, its unique specialization requires Mechatronics Engineers to develop a more in-depth understanding of either electrical, electronics, software, or mechanical, than the other types of engineers. It depends on what the industry they choose to go into requires most.
• Skills: Carry a bunch of skills from a bunch of different specific engineering types.
• Fun Fact: (Here we go again), Mechatronics Engineers usually become one because they’re so indecisive that they just can’t pick a specific field (Could be true, I’m actually not sure, (but this “Fun Fact” was also just meant to be a joke).
• In short: If you want to pursue Robotics, or be behind the wheel of Automation, but also be a Jack-of-all-Trades, and have a deeper understanding of a specific subject, go into Mechatronics Engineering.
Amazing comment
@@OliverFoote can I assume you understood the jokes? If so, were they funny? You can be honest and say they weren't if they weren't. Sometimes my jokes are lame 😂
@@jacobburrell613 They were definitely cringe and the comment could have done without them, but apart from that, great comment
Great comment! And also you could’ve added a joke about being a Jack of all trades but master of none. Haha
@@HashimAziz1what bruh they weren't , they where hilarious
Software: You specialize in software of any kind.
Mechanical: You specialize in mechanical systems.
Mechatronics: You integrate knowledge from mechanical, electronics, and software engineering to develop mechatronics systems.
I truly want to do mechatronics as it just opens many opportunities and I’m 3 years away from graduating high school then university, I’m gonna study in Germany and hope the best for all who want to do the same :)
Good luck!
I wish you luck. I also wish to study mechatronics but I wish to do it in the United States
How is your study going ?
You made it easy, Thanks man!!
You’re welcome!
Great video, your video production has also greatly improved keep up the good work
Thank you! Much appreciated!
I appreciate your effort bro! Am now certain with what to go for between Mechanical and Mechatronics engineering❤️💪
Thanks Bro, you've taught me something new. I'm so fascinated with the whole Mechatronics thing. Tnx So Much
Amazing Content Buddy. You Rock. Keep it up🔥🔥
Thanks!
Super educational video, Thanks Mr.Foote
Glad you liked it!
Like the way you explain complicated shit 😂 great job homie
.THANK YOU for the video
!! My all doubt⁰ are clear !!
You’re welcome!!
Very useful!!thanks
great video by the way
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 UA-cam 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 !!!
A lot of information 👍
Thanks Really Helped Man 🙏🧡
You’re welcome! Glad I could help
Ive been in mechanics since i was a small child. my Grandfather kept me with him in his shop and hanger where he taught me mechanicd and fabrication building private experimental aircraft.... For the last 16yrs after making a lot of mistakes, i have been in automotive manufacturing as industrial mechanical and process engineering technician roles. I have industrial automation and mechatronics certifications and now work in the biomedical industry.. Although my experience in the industry and knowledge/skill equates to a BS engineers degree, its very difficult to break into a engineering design or controls position... therefore, I'm working on a bachelors in mechatronics (ESET) now. I will pursue the masters afterwords, however i'm so fascinated with physics and physics is the master of all education, i'm wanting to do some graduate programs in physics down the road..... anyways....I'm wondering if software engineering degree will be very useful stacked with a master? Software engineering is so extremely useful and as diverse in some ways as mechatronics but with its unique specialty is more in depth i would think. Any advice ? Personally i like to be able to manipulate my entire environment and be the master of my craft with the objective at hand... my thoughts is mechatronics without software engineering isn't 100% a master of the trade, just as you mentioned a mechatronics and mechanical engineer working together, in the industry, its actually usually an automation technician (like myself) working with an electrical engineer due to their lack of mechanical comprehension or experience... any thought or suggestions on if a mechatronics engineer should in fact pursue in depth software engineering as well? in today's advanced manufacturing technologies, even Information Technologist are integrated into machine building projects as a second entity due to the extreme amount networking/data engineering that is required... Seems like a double degreed mechatronics/software engineer would be the master answer to bridging this skills gap, a two for one so to say, of course at a higher salary.. what are your thoughts? Also, what are your thoughts on a Mehatronics Engineering degree with Machine learning and Data Science/coding /AI type certifications?
Thanks
Really amazing content 💪
By the way what programming language should I begin with as a mechatronics student
Thanks :). Python and C are good to start with
Thanks a lot,
I'll work on it 💪
hi! great video buddy! I'd love to know which books have been helpful to you so far! I'm mechatronic student too
I usually just use the textbooks that my professors assign lol. The most helpful one by far was embedded systems design by Yifeng Zhu, very good for learning ARM processors and Assembly language with C. I have also thought about getting some coding books in OOP, and the classics like cracking the coding interview etc.
Ariel Balbuena where are you studying?
Look at the top of his hair i see the background. 😅 bro i appreciate you love you and respect you.
What's your opinion about taking Mechatronics as UG B-Tech Course and going for Robotics as Masters?
I agree with this take. Mechatronics work great with mechanical engineers.
Do I need to take mechatronics at college if I know nothing about it
What about mechatronics engineering vs electrical engineering?
To read books, partes significativas is nice.
Question I wanna learn mechanical electrical robotics and software engineering I wanna be good at them should I take mechatronics or should I take all 4 of those classes?
Could you please be kind enough to talk about job opportunities for a Tron Eng !!!
That was actually going to be one of the next videos I made! It’ll be coming soon
Cover everything you are doing or have done in your own engineering, assuming you have not already, thanks.
What school offers the best in mechatronics engineering
You are cool bro!😎
Which one is easy ? And takes less time
Thanks for the video! Mind if I ask, do software engineering also do circuit?
In most software engineering degrees you won’t do any circuits, software degrees are very focused.
@@OliverFoote thank you for answering my question. I really want to do programming and robotic at the same time but I doesn't know what I want course do I want to take. I hope you will make video about electrical engineering and computer science soon :)
@@kaifterra3363 That's the same problem for me but i think mecatronics will be the best choice as far as it combines mechanics, electronics, software and robotics
What schools in the US offer a mechatronics program?
Me gustó desde México.
Hey I'll be starting by undergraduate in half a year. Which programming language will we be studying? How many hrs should I learn coding? Is it cool if I already start learning to code? Did you enjoy coding?
Edit: I'm going for mechatronics
It depends which school you go to. But you’ll probably be using C and Python. And I would definitely say it’s a good idea to learn what you can before you start school, but don’t stress about it too much, you learn everything you need to in school
I am interested in electronics and computer software so I took mechatronics as carreer is this right desition please reply I still have have option to change
Will you make a video on what is the scope of mechatronics engineer in canada
It’s pretty large, take at look at some other videos I’ve made about mechatronics and robotics and you might be able to get an idea of what kinds of things are included
I I had a doubt,
Engineering design and mechatronics are same or different?
Because in IIT Madras they offer Engineering design and someone said that was nothing but mechatronics. Is it true?
I am from India and there IIT Madras is one of the prestigious university. I want to join there and I'm interested in Mechatronics, but here's the problem of confusion whether they offer mechatronics or not! Please make this clear...
As a mechanical engineering student I would humbly say. Don't do it!!!
Every post I'm seeing mechanical majors saying dont do it lol
@@MrGETLIVE01 I think you have to really enjoy it to stay motivated because it gets super hard
Do I need to take mechatronics at college if I know nothing about it
Me after hearing this: "I should go in mechatronics... fuck"
at minute 05:06 , what is that white part in the middle called ? with all the cables in it ? and where can I buy that ?
Breadboard, amazon or aliexpress or any electronics shop. They are very common and cheap
im mechanical engineer fresh grad, i want to specialized in mechatronics engineering, can i use python instead of c++ and c interms of coding?
Can you make a video on Engineering Physics
Engineering Physics - The COOLEST Degree!

If i want to be a embedded systems and AIoT engineer ,should i choose electrical- electronics & telecommunication engineering or computers engineering or mechatronics engineering?
I would say mechatronics engineering
Sir , does MIT have masters in mechatronics ?
Hey so I've got a Bachelor in Computer science, know a lot of eletrical engineering, but i want to do mechatronics. Does it sound feasible?
Definitely!
Me going to 7th grade and watching this because I wanna become mechatronic engineer but doesn't understand any of this and doesn't know what to be like mechatronic, software and etc
😍😍
my mechatronics program is Electrical + Mechanical+ software. does ur program have electrical courses such as circuits?
Ohhhh yeah, tons! Circuits feels like half the degree.
I have small English knowledge but this is Very smart video for beginners, srilanka 🇱🇰
Thanks!
Bro which is better option mechanical / mechatronics to take in bachelor's
Mechatronics opens broader doors
Hay
How to go in mechatronics after electrical engineering
Just apply to mechatronics jobs. Electrical has a lot of overlap with mechatronics so you should be able to work a tron job
What's the best way to combine Electrical, CompSci, and Mechanical without taking Mechatronics? If I want to do robots, physically build things, and also code? Do I major in electrical engineering or mechanical engineering and learn computer science on the side of one of those? If so, which?
Why don´t you take a look at computer engineering
@@whitepaladin5628 Haha forgot i posted this. Funny enough, im doing computer engineering right now.🤣
@@Zach-yv9vz You found your way to it on your own, haha
Should i choose Pcl or arduino ?
Depends on the project. I’m a fan of Arduino tho. It’s very easy to use
Brother will i have to learn coding for mechatronics??
Yes you will
Hi, I’m a mechanical engineer 1st year and not sure if I continue with it or change to Software Engineering. I was taught C language and really liked it, so that’s why I thought of moving to Software; however I feel I have no information or don’t know if I have the abilities to be a good Software Engineer, pls, it takes me a lot of time to solve a task because I’m new to this field.
So the only reason I chose Mechanical is because I have some background in Physics from high school although I hate physics problem solving, but I feel I can understand it faster because of the demonstrations of Phy concepts in real world.
Right now, I’m really confused should I do Software or do Mechanical? Please give me your advice.
Thank you..
I think it depends what you want to be doing and what interests you the most. Mechanical engineering does have a lot of physics and Software engineering has different kinds of problem solving. All I can say is choose the thing that interests you the most, if you don't like mechanical engineering then it make sense to switch.
@@OliverFoote
Thank you so much for your reply, you really changed my mindset in making a decision. I was overthinking both fields and not focusing on what I love, even if I’m bad at a certain subject, the passion will make me work hard and solve hard problems.
So I will start focusing on what I love and not what has more opportunities or money in the future
Hi man may i have your opinion?
Im currently studying for my bachelor in mechanical engineering (2nd year)
After my 3rd year ends i can choose mechatronics or software engineering and continue studying for another 3 years to become an engineer
So should i continue with mechatronics or software engineering ?
Depends what you want to do, if you want to sit at a computer for most of your career debugging code, then software. It can also be cool and you can build cool things with a software degree, and it's a very safe choice. If you want to sit at your computer, but also work with electronics and cables and engineering design then go Mechatronics. Mechatronics is less specialized so it might be harder to find a job in one particular field than software. So consider that too.
Don’t forget about electrical engineering :) that’s somewhere in there too
Yes very much so, I just found these three to get confused the most often. But I am thinking about doing a comparison with electrical soon
I have chosen mechatronics engineering for myself. Your video was really helpful to help me choose in between mechanical and mechatronics engineering. Thank you for that.🤍✨
I just wanted to make sure can mechatronics engineers work in cars manufacturing companies and aerospace related fields ? Or can I masters in aerospace engineering after bs mechatronics engineering?
asynchronous audio to video
Mecatronics are the chads.
Can a Mechanical Engineer do this course with ease?
There’s a lot more software and electronics than mechanical, so I would say ease. But depends where you get the degree, each programs a little different
@@OliverFoote I am going for automotive mechatronics brother.
Mechatronics engineering 💪💪😜😜😜
In which university are you studying?
McMaster Univeristy
@@OliverFoote That's great.
Your videos are great and helpful, keep it up, good luck.
Me : Whose is gone do Mechatronics and software engineer
This dude moves and looks like a AI trying to mimic a human
Mechanical engineering sucks, software engineer is a job with paradise.
What’s you number
