Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary branch of knowledge in engineering that deals with the making of reliable systems which are more economical. Mechatronics Engineering as it is also known focuses on mechanical engineering systems with the help of electronic engineering and electrical engineering to design and produce systems that are unified within this field of study. This includes a combination of robotics, electronics, computer, telecommunications, systems, control, and product engineering.
Mechatronic Engineers specialise themselves in the field to qualify in grounds of robotics, mechanics, control systems, and equipment production. They also work to creatively and critically solve problems either as a team or single-handedly. Mechatronics Engineering trains students to acquire competency in both the fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering. This means that a Mechatronic Engineer is capable of handling the works of both a mechanical engineer and an electrical engineer. It, therefore, moulds students to design, manufacture, maintain and organize advanced forms of technology for use in industries and places alike.

Since Mechatronics is multidisciplinary in nature, it provides students with added tasks at hand within this profession. They can apply mechatronic or automated solutions to the transfer of material components or finished goods, or design and assist with the manufacture of consumer products such as cameras and video recorders. Mechatronics programs are offered by various universities at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, however, sometimes it is also offered as a field of specialisation for Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.
