Advancement Prospects
Engineers advance by receiving pay raises and by working on bigger and more complex projects. Others become senior engineers, engineering managers, production managers, or company executives. Some mechatronics engineers use their technical knowledge in marketing and sales and positions, while others start their own engineering businesses or consulting firms. A few engineers earn Ph.D.s and become college professors.
