Mechatronics, also known as mechatronic engineering, is an interconnected branch of engineering. It focuses on electrical engineering and mechanical systems, as well as robotics, computers, telecommunication systems, control and product engineering.

With the advancement of technology, all branches of automotive engineering are getting integrated into it. In modern times, robot surgeons go inside the heart and fix the arteries and come out through the mouth and nose, while the robot anchors read 24/7 news and stories.

In this era, a person will have wide opportunities for employment at home. After the industrial revolution, the electrical and mechanical revolution brought benefits to man with less labor. These are the intelligent machines, in front of which creativity increased 50 times. The time is not far when you will see sentient machines, ladies and gentlemen, powered by artificial intelligence and biometric engineering.

Importance of Mechatronics

Mechatronics engineers are in high demand in today's digital and robotic world, and our top universities award them with credentials. It's hard to ignore smart machine builders in the secure careers of the future, whose skills will be needed in everything from human machine manufacturing to design, testing and manufacturing to drone technology, pharmaceutical industries and automated vehicle manufacturing.

Mechatronics has revolutionized medical science by inventing everything from artificial legs to artificial eyes for the disabled. Mechatronics engineers are an integral part of high-tech industries such as bioengineering and nanotechnology.

Education and Career in Mechatronics

Mechatronics engineers, who are trained in the combination of mechanics and electronics, possess the skills that they possess by obtaining their undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD degrees, after which their services become indispensable for the high-tech industry. A mechatronic engineer is a master of software and hardware in computer science with mechanical engineering and electronic engineering that offers new solutions to solve industrial problems through mechanical and electronic processes and computer technology. Apart from this, it brings out completely new products by combining different technologies and helps in the preparation and testing of factory production lines by automating existing processes. They design, develop and manage high-technology engineering systems to create automated systems for industrial purposes. It pioneers the automation of industry by providing modeling, simulation, and analysis of complex mechanical, electrical, and other engineering systems using computers.

With a mechatronics degree, you can have many career choices, from advanced manufacturing to security. A Mechatronics degree prepares you to work in a number of secure positions, such as Robot Engineer/Technician, Auto Machine Engineer, Control System Design/Troubleshooting Engineer, Electronics Design Engineer, Mechanical Design Engineer, Data Scientist/Data Analyst, Instrumentation Engineer and Software Engineering. In advanced manufacturing and robotics, the average salary is $51,600, while in telecommunications and information services, high-voltage engineers, field or cable technicians, and networking technicians, computer networking fiber optic cables can earn an average salary of $64,240.

Similarly, Mechatronic Engineers in Agriculture, Food and Forestry, Biotechnology, Life Science, Medical Equipment Design, Alternative Energy, Transportation and Logistics, Security and Defense can secure their futures because, as in Pakistan, they are in high demand. As "automation science" gains popularity, we will need robotic scientists and IT masters who are well versed in the technical and applied aspects of the technology. In this world moving towards high technology, Pakistani students have also proved by making robots in the field of mechatronics that we are keeping pace with the world.

Mechatronics Engineering Education in Pakistan

There are top universities in Pakistan awarding Bachelor of Engineering degrees in Mechatronics whose students have made a name for themselves worldwide. In those universities, you can secure your career by doing a 4-year BE or BSc in Mechatronics.

The Higher Education Commission has given special place to its four-year program BS/BSc/BE Mechatronics Engineering in its portfolio. If you look at the Mechatronics syllabus of HEC, it will be full of demands for innovation, which is the reason for the bright career of Mechatronics in Pakistan and abroad. However, its far-reaching effects on Pakistani society will not be established until we introduce the manufacturing industry with high technology, make automatic machines with our own resources and become one of the manufacturing machine countries of the world.

We are still a little self-sufficient in the production of devices, but we will not be able to enjoy the robot revolution born from mechatronics until we build robots with artificial intelligence. In this regard, support can be obtained from America, Europe, China and Japan for technical consultation, which are ahead of us in technology at the moment.
