Mechatronics is one of the most commonly misunderstood fields:
“Control Engineer”, “Electrical Engineer”, “Automation Engineer”, “Industrial Engineer”, etc.
Most commonly listed by secondary specialization, when the real goal is still to hire someone with mechatronics background
Suggestion: Explore a secondary specialization, especially after graduating, and highlight this to potential employers. Build a design portfolio.
Mechatronics – Research
Samples of Research: MEMS
14
Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems Tiny systems that combine electrical and mechanical components to accomplish a task: motion, sorting, fluid compression, lensing, etc.
Relevant labs: Prof. Ridha Ben Mrad, Prof. Yu Sun, Prof. James Mills
Mechatronics – Research
Samples of Research: Active Vision
15
Active Vision Using cameras that move in response to what they are seeing, in order to see better in the future. May also be predictive, moving in anticipation of future actions.
Relevant labs: Prof. Beno Benhabib
