Is a Mechatronics Career Still Possible Without a System Dynamics Course?

AI Thread Summary
Graduating with a BSME without completing an embedded systems course may pose challenges in securing a job in the mechatronics field, particularly for roles focused on robotics. The lack of a system dynamics course has limited opportunities for research and practical experience, which are valuable in this competitive industry. Despite having relevant coursework in instrumentation, automatic control, and electrical engineering, the absence of specific classes could hinder job prospects. The discussion highlights the importance of targeted education and experience in mechatronics. Overall, pursuing additional learning opportunities or projects may be essential for enhancing employability in this field.

Hi guys:

initially i was going to complete my degree in mechatronics, however the department of my school want me to graduate by fall and so I will have one class (embedded system, with C++) short as well as a capstone project from getting my mechatronics degree.

however, I will still graduate with a BSME having taken instrumentations and automatic control classes, on top of that I have taken classes with AC circuits, filters analysis and design classes in EE. Given that I don't have the embedded system C class, will I have trouble looking for jobs in the mechatronics field?

Hi

I would like to do some robotics related stuff.

but if you have more information please let me know !


thanks!

the biggest problem for me is that, I was not able to take a system dynamics course when i was in my junior year, hence I need to take my senior year, and therefore I lost all opportunity to do research in mechatronics. I wanted to take a 5th year so I can build up my resume yet the department is forcing me to graduate since I have too many credits already.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
