SUMMARY

Robotics is a viable career choice for Electrical Engineering (EE) majors, particularly under the umbrella of Mechatronics, which encompasses core principles from electrical, software, and mechanical engineering. In Canada, Mechatronics serves as the formal designation for robotics, integrating essential skills for aspiring professionals. While traditional EE programs may not offer a dedicated robotics track, they often include control systems design, which is crucial for robotics applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Mechatronics principles
  • Familiarity with control systems design
  • Knowledge of software engineering basics
  • Basic mechanical engineering concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Mechatronics programs at Canadian universities
  • Explore control systems design techniques
  • Learn about software development for robotics
  • Investigate mechanical engineering applications in robotics
USEFUL FOR

Electrical Engineering students, aspiring robotics engineers, and professionals interested in interdisciplinary applications of engineering in robotics.

I was just wondering if robotics would be a good career choice for an EE major (although EE is more or less robotics), and if so...what particular type of robotics? thanks for reading and replying
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
I've been considering this myself. The actual name for 'robotics' specifically, at least in Canada is Mechatronics. From the research I've done, doing mech basically gets you set up with core stuff from electrical, software, and mechanical engineering.

I'm not aware of any EE program that has a specific 'robotics' side, unless it's specifically designing control systems.

Oh, and welcome to PF.
