Hi everyone, I just get offer from upu to continue my study in Unimap for degree in mechatroni engineering

By the way, any seniors can just lend me a hand as i have feel Questions want to ask

1) what is mechatronic and mainly studying about wht ?This diagram literally tells you everything about Mechatronics. Some laymen would probably give you the impression that you are halfway in Mechanical Engineering and halfway in Electrical Engineering, but the fact is that Mechatronics integrates all of the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) in a way no other subject can compare.
2) I know certain subjects that i need to study in this course. but the Net just able to show me the subject name. can anyone able to post something like : Subject name and follow up by their syllabus. That much help a lot :') just need the sem 1 :')
The following are the brief description of core subjects in the 1st semester that are directly related to Mechatronics. The syllabi may vary from year to year and subject to change under Malaysian engineering educational policy, so better check with your lecturers.
The treatment of engineering mathematics intended to introduce students of engineering, physics, mathematics, computer science, and related fields to those areas of applied mathematics that are most relevant for solving practical problems. A course in elementary calculus is usually the sole prerequisite. You may be wondering why you need to learn engineering mathematics. The engineer has to take a problem from any diverse area (electric cars, solar energy, nanotechnology, risk management, biotechnology, computer vision, robotics, space mission, communication systems, financial engineering, and many other areas are advancing rapidly) and be able to model it for analysis, before they can find a solution to implement it safely.
Electric circuit theory and electromagnetic theory are the two fundamental theories upon which all branches of electrical engineering are built. Many branches of electrical engineering, such as power, electric machines, control, electronics, communications, and instrumentation, are based on electric circuit theory. Therefore, the basic electric circuit theory course is the most important course for an electrical engineering student. By definition, an electric circuit is an interconnection of electrical elements that transfers energy from one point to another. In this course, you will study of the behavior of the circuit: How does it respond to a given input? How do the interconnected elements and devices in the circuit interact?
| Engineering Mechanics (Statics) |
Traditionally, Statics is the first course of a three-consecutive semester courses on Engineering Mechanics in the Mechanical Engineering courses. Semester 2 deals with Mechanics of Materials; Semester 3 deals with Dynamics. Mechanics is the oldest and the most highly developed branch of physics. Engineering mechanics concentrates on the needs of the practicing engineer. Statics is the study of forces acting on bodies that are in equilibrium, as for example the weight, the pressure of the wind, or the snow load on a roof.
Students are expected to leave the course knowing how to open a text editor, write one or multiple program files, compile the code, and execute and debug the resulting program. However, many engineering programs in Malaysia don't prepare for students will not take an additional course on programming. Hence, it is essential for you to know how to program from scratch after this course. Traditionally, the course covers C/C++ programming language. As an engineering student, you should also master the MATLAB programming language, which serves you well in the subsequent academic terms. Trust me!
3) If I face academic challenges at some point in my undergraduate course, can I ask for help in this forum?Yes, you can!
4) what kind of jobs i can looking for right after graduate and is their job in demand or job opportunity is big ???Generally, you are trained to become an Automation Engineer, who have the knowledge and ability to design and build automated industrial systems, i.e., process automation (Power Distribution, Heat Exchangers, Boiler, Neutralization, etc.), factory automation (systems of Robotic Manipulators and Gantry Cranes), and building automation (Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning applications [HVAC], energy saving lights and blinds).
You should be able to operate a typical Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), which is a special form of microprocessor-based controller that uses programmable memory to store instructions and to implement functions such as logic, sequencing, timing, counting, and arithmetic in order to control machines and processes. Knowledge and skills in handling measuring instruments (sensors), pneumatic valves (actuators) and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) are highly-valued.
Graduates generally work at the private sector entities such as industrial production (PETRONAS, PROTON, TNB), or companies that create automation systems (SIEMENS, ABB, Yokogawa). It is difficult to forecast the job demands in the next 5 years. Unless the Earth is hit by a massive Solar Storm (that could possibly wipe out Earth's electronics and power grids), there will be an opportunistic growth in the automation sectors.
