Interesting Facts about the career
Work in an automated factory where robots assemble automobiles with little human intervention. Imagine banks of robots welding and riveting metal together under the watchful eyes of mechatronics engineering technologists.
Design a greenhouse that can grow food more productively than a farm. Using programmable controllers to carefully manage lighting, irrigation, nutrition and temperature, food yields can be optimized in a small space.
Help produce computer vision systems in automobiles that can eventually drive themselves. Produce computers that process input from video cameras so fast that they can simulate a human response. Imagine that these computers are networked together so that different vehicles can talk to each other and prevent accidents before they happen.
