AI Thread Summary
A 20-year-old seeking to become a robotics engineer is considering a three-year advanced diploma in electro-mechanical engineering technology at Durham College in Oshawa, ON. The discussion emphasizes the importance of exploring mechatronics engineering, which is closely related to robotics and offers various applications and opportunities. While electro-mechanical engineering is primarily an engineering technology program and not ABET accredited, mechatronics is emerging as a distinct field. Recommendations include looking into Southern Polytechnic State University for a degree in mechatronics and considering further studies at Georgia Tech for a Ph.D. in robotics. The conversation highlights the need for reliable sources when researching top colleges for robotics engineering, with MIT often recognized as a leading institution.

Hey I am 20 years old and I am signing up for college and i want to become some sort of robotics engineer. I am having a difficulty finding colleges with degree programs for robotics around here. i found a program for an advanced diploma in electro-mechanical engineering technology a 3 year program at Durham College in Oshawa, ON, Canada. would this be a good idea for me to invest into get that diploma or/and does anyone have any ideas what college and course name (suited for robotics) i can submit to that would be a better option (or what course title i should search for) around durham region or toronto? Thank You for your help
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Look into "mechatronics" that's the parent field of robotics and is generally an offshoot of either mechanical or electrical (which one you choose is up to you after looking through the curriculum)
 
Like everybody else said, look for mechatronics engineering. There are only a handful of programs out there for it, though. Mechatronics engineering is just now getting started as its own field, but I know its supposed to be an exciting field with plenty of applications and opportunities. Electro-Mechanical Engineering is now mostly an engineering technology and is not ABET accredited as an engineering specialty.

Southern Polytechnic State University in Georgia has a degree in Mechatronics Engineering, and if you get that done and decide to do more, Georgia Tech has a Ph.D in Robotics. Although, I would look into SPSU as there's been some negative comments made about them. Good academics program, though.
 
hey,

i need one advice from some experts which one is Best Colleges For Robotics Engineering

I am searching a lot but not found any authantic source on which I can trust

it is valid that MIT is on top?

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
