Mechatronics as a Job

Today I will talk about what the daily life a Mechatronics Engineer looks like. Every Mechatronics majors day is different than the other. Mechatronics Engineering is a combination of almost all the kinds of engineering. In the field that I am going into I will be working a lot on cars and computers.

The word Mechatronics is a combination of the two words mechanical and electrical. In this field of engineering devices are created as "smart devices". These smart devices/objects could be something as simple as the navigation systems in peoples cars that they use every day. People take devices such as those for granted until they need them most. As a Mechatronics Engineer the navigation system in peoples cars could be what the main project could be. From making the software faster to increasing the accuracy of the device.(NC) As bizarre as people may think that having WiFi in their cars is; It is possible to have WiFi in cars. A Mechatronics Engineer had to figure out how to design the car to be able to have WiFi. The car company Chevrolet has put wireless internet in many of there cars, and it was a success.(Resources)

As a child everyone has that one idea/invention that they want to create. No matter how silly that idea is, that idea can become reality. Who would have every thought that a car would have wireless internet, or a navigation system. All these things such as BMW's crash proof car where once a dream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeecwO1ps08). With engineering people can create anything they want to.

I conclusion, working in the engineering field is hard, but it is worth the work and effort in the end. Imagine how many life could be saved just from one invention. Working hard and not giving up is what people need to do to become great inventors and life changers. Next week i will talk about people who invented devices and programs that changed the world.

  1. I don't see any publishers for these sources or copyright dates. Be sure you have them in your MLA.

    Since you didn't have authors, your end notes should reflect the titles that you used ("Resources") and ("NC"). Also, don't make any heading all caps unless its an acronym.
