Hello, my name is Lucas and I am currently in year 11. For my research project I decided to research mechanical and mechatronic engineering to compare both of the occupations in order to make a decision of what I want to pursue as career. If you have the time, please feel free to help me answer my questions. My sub-questions are:
- What is mechanical and mechatronic engineering
- What is the current training and education required for mechanical and mechatronic engineering
- What jobs do mechatronic and mechanical engineers do
- What future roles for mechatronic and mechanical engineering in Australia
- Looking at the information which one would I choose and why, how do I get there
I respect your privacy and undertand the ethical considerations needed. If possible, send me a message and I'll give you my email if you don't want to post anything on this thread.
Regards,
Lucas
