Engineering Electrical Engineering and Robots?

AI Thread Summary
Electrical Engineering can provide a solid foundation for working with robots, but the choice between it, Mechatronics Engineering, and Electronic Engineering depends on specific career goals and interests in robotics. Mechatronics Engineering integrates mechanical, electronic, and control systems, making it particularly relevant for robotics. It's important to consider the focus areas offered by universities, as some may provide specialized programs in Mechatronics. Researching the curriculum and opportunities for hands-on experience in robotics at the chosen university is crucial for making an informed decision.

Can a Electrical Engineer work with robots or should i gor more for a degree in Mechatronical Engineering or Electronic Engineering? I have 2 options of university here in my country but one only have Electrcial Engineering and the other have separate degrees of Mechatronics E or Electronic E.

Depends on what part of the robot you want to work on and to what level of detail. That being said, there is a focus within Mechanical Engineering call Mechatronics; check to see if your university offers it as an area of focus.

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
