About the Mechatronics Servicing Industry

The term “mechatronics” comes from the words “mechanical” and “electronics” combined. It combines traditional fields of mechanical and electrical engineering, fused together with IT or computer science and mathematics. The application of mechatronics in everyday life ranges from power systems to transportation; optical telecommunications to biomedical engineering, along with a long list of related disciplines. Mechatronic systems exist in almost every science, mechanical or industrial field, and it seems that there are no limits to the future of this discipline. Those who study or complete a training in the field can have careers in a large spectrum of industries. Career opportunities in this fast emerging and evolving discipline exist both in the private and public sectors. They can have a successful career in aerospace, robotics, defense and automotive production, food processing, space systems, modern industrial systems, manufacturing, sales and manufacturing of engineered products, information technology, and even business. Furthermore, the demand for highly qualified professionals possessing multidisciplinary skills, combined with knowledge of mechanical and electronic systems, may continue to rise. In large companies, a mechatronics engineer may work on a team with other engineers or only work on a portion or sub-system of the final project. The jobs he may be tasked to perform include defining requirements, designing initial concepts, building prototypes, testing systems, or setting up assembly lines.
