My son is looking at applications for University in the UK 🇬🇧 or Canada 🇨🇦 (he has dual nationality) for 2025 entry and was looking at Mechanical Engineering (MEng), primarily in the UK. However, he has since mentioned that Mechatronics Engineering may be a better fit for him, he is somewhat of a savant at computer science and dabbles with electronics and is a half decent watch guy. I myself am a Mechanical Engineer and when at university all those years ago (writing on slates and wearing black gowns and square hats 🧑🎓) Mechatronics was a subject we were forced to cover for a term and it talked about stepper motors and stuff that didn't interest 99% of the people there and was a 'grit your teeth and get through it course'. However, I just started reading up on it again and it looks like the subject has matured into a blend of mechanical/electrical/software engineering, making for a better well rounded engineer, if you take the online marketing at face value. Is anyone on this forum a Mechatronics Engineer, what is the reality in todays world for graduates with this degree? -
Last question: would you agree with me that this watch was probably made before WW2? I would say in the 1930s or 40s. -
