Mechatronics Engineers

One of the best ways to learn about the field is to talk with mechatronics engineers about their careers. Ask them how they prepared for the field in high school and college, what they like and dislike about their jobs, and any other questions that will help you to better understand the field. Your science teacher or a counselor can help arrange an information interview. Read books and visit Web sites that discuss mechatronics engineering. One useful resource is the Mechatronics page of the ASME Web site, https://www.asme.org/topics-resources/content/mechatronics-and-the-role-of-engineers. Finally, join the Technology Student Association, which provides students a chance to explore career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, enter academic competitions, and participate in summer exploration programs.
