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.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
