WHAT IS MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING?

• Mechatronics Engineering, or simply put mechatronics, is an

interdisciplinary branch which combines principles of computer,
electrical, and mechanical engineering. Mechatronics develops
smart machines and systems to make human processes more
efficient and convenient.

What jobs do you get with a mechatronics degree?
• Mechatronics Careers in Telecommunications and Information
Services:
Mechatronics engineering technology jobs in telecommunication and
information services include roles such as high-voltage engineer, field
or cable technician, networking technichian and more.
•  According to salary.com, telecommunications technicians earn an
average salary of $64,240 per year. 
Mechatronics Careers in Agriculture, Food and Forestry:

After graduating from the mechatronics engineering technology program

you could go on to design greenhouses that increase food production,
program controllers to manage irrigation systems, or even use engineering
principles to ensure the health and sustainability of forests.
• According to payscale.com, agricultural technicians earn an average
salary of $52,000 per year.
• Mechatronics Careersin Biotechnology, Life Science and Medical
Equipment Design:
• A mechatronics engineering degree can prepare you for careers
designing and building bio-inspired machines and medical devices that
mimic the behaviors of humans, animals and plants (this is called bio-
mimetics). You also may use knowledge of mechatronics engineering
technology to improve clinical equipment, surgical procedures,
rehabilitation strategies, micro-implants, prosthesesand more.
• According to salary.com, biomedical engineering technicians earn an
average of $62,282 per year.
• Mechatronics Careers in Renewable Energy
• Renewable energy is a booming industry in which mechatronics graduates
will find many opportunities to use their multi-disciplinary engineering skills
to help make exciting innovations, test and improve components used in wind
turbines and solar panels, and more. Job titles may include safety
coordinator, materials engineer and energy systems technician, among others
• According to investinganswers.com, the median salary for a materials
engineer in wind power is $83,190; in solar power, it is $86,380. The salary for
a wind-turbine installer starts at $31,000 and increases to $104,000 with
experience.
Mechatronics Careers in Transportation and Logistics:

These careers involve working with custom-designed machines, powerful

computing infrastructures, complex transportation processes and
equipment, and more. In short, you’ll use comprehensive mechatronics
knowledge to keep large companies up and running, and delivering
customer satisfaction.
• According to salaryexpert.com, the average logistics technician salary in
the United States is $53,311 per year.
• Mechatronics Careers in Homeland Security and Defense
