Junestus Jizzy AddedTuesday, January 23, 2018 at 4:01 AM How does a Mechanical Engineer become a Mechatronics Engineer? I am about to enroll into a university as a mechanical engineering student but would later like to venture into mechatronics which unfortunately isn't offered at the university i intent to study at. How and what route do I take, how long will it take me to become a Mechatronics engineer after having possession of a Mechanical Engineering degree?

Or you can choose to do any of those degrees now, and the other studies later. Regardless, it takes deep skills in mechanical, electrical and computer systems in order to build mechatronic systems. So whichever field you specialise in will be beneficial to mechatronics projects. Kind regards,Marita
