Mechatronics is a field of engineering that includes study with a combination of various engineering disciplines such as mechanical, electrical, telecommunication, control and computer engineering.

The aim of mechatronics is a design process that unifies all the above disciplines of engineering.

Mechatronics industry employs both engineers to design and develop equipments and technicians to maintain it.

1. The profession of mechatronics includes technicians and engineers. They design and maintain automated equipment.
2. Technicians and engineers work in laboratories, offices or on-site manufacturing plants.
3. The goal is to produce safe and efficient automated equipment.
4. Technicians primarily maintain machinery, while engineers are more concerned with design and development of components and products.

Diploma in mechatronics is a 3 year programme, it prepares students for entry-level programmes.

The programmes primarily focus on practical application.

A bachelore's degree programme in mechatronics is a year course after completion of Diploma.

Though there is no specific data to track employment for mechatronics professionals, in the recent years there has been increasing demand for mechatronics professionals in terms of employment in comparison to other engineers.
