Engineering Mechatronic engineering or electronic engineering

AI Thread Summary
Choosing between electronic engineering and mechatronic engineering for a career in research engineering involves considering the focus of your research interests. If robotics is your primary interest, mechatronics may be the better option as it integrates multiple engineering disciplines, providing a broader foundation for robotics applications. On the other hand, if you are leaning towards nanotechnology, it's important to explore specific educational paths, as this field may require specialized knowledge in materials science or physics. Researching institutions like the CMU Robotics Institute can offer insights into the skills and knowledge necessary for a successful career in these areas. Ultimately, the decision should align with your research goals and the interdisciplinary nature of the fields you wish to pursue.

i need advice, i want to go into a career in research engineer. i would like to do either electronic or mechatrionic engineering but i don't know if it would be better to just go into one field of engineering(electronics) which cover one subject in dept or two separate fields of engineering(mechatronics) which covers a few areas of engineering. could you advise me on which field would be the best field if i want to do research. By the way the area of research i would like to get into is robotics or nanotechnology.

mechatronics would be a good choice for robotics research. I don't know what u should study for nanotech research though. Google CMU robotics institute to see what interest u.
 

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

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...

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

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...
