Mechanical vs Mechatronics Engineering : Which is BETTER?

A lot of students struggle to choose the "right" engineering major because of many factors. Common ones include the following:
1. You have yet to discover what you like and dislike.
2. There are so many disciplines that overlap and are difficult to understand without the necessary resources and guidance.
3. Your interests lie in a plethora of areas.
4. You are worried about things like job security, salary, etc.

The goal is to help anyone who is having trouble deciding between two very attractive majors - MECHANICAL and MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING - and who wants to learn more about these two disciplines.

My brother started an Auto company, that converts Gasoline Cars to EV's, he also started his Mechatronics Engineering journey (Freshman), and men, its one hell of a journey.

If yur country is developing, always takes the engineering discipline that teach you how things are made qnd how to make things. Core engineering never goes wrong, you will always be needed even if you're not "exeptionally" paid.

Great video I find it hilarious that the channel is called engineering gone wild while being one of the most calm channels I've ever seen

[jaythgr]

Guys I’m junior graduating early from high school. I’m going into mechatronics engineering next year, My only advice when ur choosing a college for this major is to make sure It’s “ABET” accredited

[The-Gemini]

Bro, you completely pushed me to pick based on my opinion and desires. I'm so grateful!!!

[aj_glory]

I just started mechanical & mechatronics engineering and this video helped me alot to differentiate between both of my majors I appreciate it

[omarragab-bu]

i do mechatronics engineering i tool 3 fluid dynamics 2 thermodynamics courses till now

[andyatmosphere]

Mechatronics is challenging but rewarding

[ekenebernard]

Very educative 🚀
Watching from 🇳🇬
As an student of Mechatronics Engineering over here, we study all the core common and Mechatronics courses mentioned here with an additional 70% of the core Mechanical courses... Mechatronics is fun, but requires patience and attention to details...

[arthurlee]

Great video! The number of top tier universitires you can attend for undergrad will be limited if you decide to major in Mechatronics. Northeastern is the only one I would consider tbh😂

[NidhiSs-dk]

I’ve completed my mechatronics from quantum university and the reason behind choosing is the main class room teaching and other professors expertise I’ve had a good experience which will help me to go ahead further for more opportunity

[isaiahzulu-wvll]

Can you also make one on Electromechanical and Mechanical Engineering?

[LynxTheEngineer]

Which university is best where I can pursue Masters or Ph.D in mechatronics Engineering in the US?? Any help? Any scholarships too?

[abersabeel]

this is literally amazing!
can I build drones with mechatronics?

[MRSketch]

Thanks for the excellent vid.

Also I've now got a headache.

[Joe.O_]

I've worked in many places with mechanical engineers. Most of them are miserable and hate their job. Nowadays, they're glorified drafters. Management treats them like crap. Honestly, the cleaning staff is treated better. They are constantly dumped on. If you are an engineer and have any sort of social skills, your best bet is to get into technical sales. Big contracts = big money. You will get much more financial reward and professional growth/ recognition. Let the pions draw the nuts and bolts.

[kenroystewart]

I'm going to be graduating with a mechanical engineering degree soon but have found that I am interested in mechatronic aspects, do the skills transfer well?

[jailnet]

It's better to major in mechanical engnthen take a minor of mechatronics in university

[Ryzhie.]

i am a Mechatronics guy... and am plannig to learn everything without a university course before I turn 16.

[sulavkhatiwada]

I am really stuck in finding out the best university for mechatronics engineering as a international student
