What is the scope of Mechatronics in future job prospects?
At present all manufacturing and production sectors all over India and abroad are witnessing a huge requirement of Mechanical Engineers due to the high manufacturing and production of equipment/items. In this modern era of technology, all manufacturing and production of types of equipment/items are being done with help of automation. Automation has enormous benefits, such as high accuracy, faster rates of production, high quality, etc., and automation is done through Mechatronics. Now, let us understand the revolution of Mechatronics.
What is Mechatronics? Mechatronics is the branch of engineering that is developed by integrating the core technologies of Mechanical Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, and Computer Science & Engineering. This is the branch that brought a revolutionary change in the automation industry. The concepts of robotics, 3D printing and manufacturing, and Artificial Intelligence can now exist due to the combined studies and research in the field of all the above-mentioned Engineering disciplines.
How can a Mechanical Engineer benefit from this? As in the ever-evolving technological industry, the use of conventional machine tools is getting absolute from the manufacturing and services sector. This is being overtaken by smart machines, which can think for themselves and take decisions according to a program. So, to be in this competition and such a growing market,
