Well my professor told us mechatronic engineering is the future. Imagine the Mechanics professor of the mechanical engineering course from the top one mechanical engineering school in Germany says that.
( he got bashed the next day by the students after making this claim LOL)

Nope my school doesnt offer mechatronics

Well it is only my guess, but i think instead of preparing the students for the market these top ranking schools are drilling the students and preparing them for further research works. That is why they need more specialized knowledge.
