I don't know what's in your mind, but that's probably because you imposed two unreal conditions that clouded your perspective. The foundations of Mechatronics are built on Control & Instrumentation Engineering. Do you know that Mechatronics graduates can apply fundamental instrumentation and control engineering principles to oil and gas facilities design and operation? You did mention your Mechatronics friend hired in Oil & Gas sector, didn't you? Moreover, the prospects for oil and gas counters remain bright in Malaysia.
Malaysia is just at the start of an oil boom, on the back of the promising outlook for the exploration and production (E&P) industry. The country's deepwater projects will assume a prominent role in providing new growth opportunities in Malaysia and are expected to produce about 250,000 bpd of new oil by 2010. All in, nine deepwater fields have been identified for commercial operations from 2007 to 2013.
If you cannot find a job in the oil & gas companies, and unless you are technically incompetent, send your résumé to SIEMENS, ABB and Yokogawa.
And Ivan can imagine beyond these.
1)mechatronics apply fundamental instrumentation and control engineering principles to oil and gas facilities? hehe. nevermind la. you just try to apply to O&G companies and say this during your interview la. see how the interviewer answer back.
2) deepwater using mechatronics? also please say this during your interview. if you apply to operator companies like Exxon, Shell, Petronas, they just might smile back at you. but if you apply for service providers, maybe you have a chance.
Well up to you, bro. I just mentioned whatever I have experienced and wanna share with you guys. coz i was also interested to join mechatronics until something stopped me from doing so. my friend didnt even applied his mechatronics in O&G by the way. he was absorbed as a pure mechanical engineer.
if you feel that you can go far with your interest, just go ahead. but if you want $ and want it fast, this may not be the suitable field for you.
