Hi everyone,
Mechatronics engineering is the synergistic combination of Mechanical engineering, Electronic engineering, Computer engineering,computer science, Control engineering, and Systems Design engineering in order to design, and manufacture useful products and other applications.
This is a new and interesting field, I would like to know if that's the case in reality in nigeria. So mechatronics engineers on nairaland please drop a comment on your experience, you don't have to be one or in nigeria. What ever you can contribute please do.

ok na

Everest9: ok na

Are you one?

Is there a technical training company here in Nigeria offers the Mechatronics engineering hands on practical course?

Or do you have any company outside the country?

Please share more infor if you have them..

Thanks.

Presonally I haven't heard of any, that's the reason why this thread was created. So that we can explore more into this field.
I am just a student.

Am shocked!! Thought this place would be flooding with comments.

Mechatronic engineering is a new course in town, am also looking to go for the practical training of the course anytime soon...

I haven't seen any company here in Nigeria that offers the training for prospective candidate..


Still keeping my fingers crossed

Are you a mechatronic engineer yourself?

AjanleKoko:

Are you a mechatronic engineer yourself?

Nope, not yet.

joey4jo:
Nope, not yet.

Okay. We just needed to clear that up. So what are you studying exactly?

mechatronics??

AjanleKoko:

Mechanical/production engineering.
But I am seriously surprised at the fact that there are no mechatronic engineers on nairaland, I know its a new field and all that but at least, haba!!!

Oh, God bless Germany, many schools offer this course and its affiliates and for freeeeee.

yemmy_ma: Oh, God bless Germany, many schools offer this course and its affiliates and for freeeeee.

Pls which school or technical training institute in germany do you know that offers the course.

It will be a great favor if you can list them.

Thanks.

Are you one, if you don't mind me asking?

nah, Logistics Engineering

yemmy_ma:

Hmm, sounds interesting.
Went through the first link you provided, that doesn't look free! Except there's somthing am not getting.
Did you also study in germany? Heard there racists.

500 euros is almost free my bro. There is racism everywhere bro, just be yourself.

yemmy_ma: 500 euros is almost free my bro. There is racism everywhere bro, just be yourself.

True talk, but some places more than others. You got to consider safety. What's the point if there's a high possibility you wouldn't finish alive. Get my point!?

Mechatronics Engineering, a course after my own heart. Its such a well rounded course that prepares one for diverse challenges in the manufacturing industry. Its a pity that only 1 or 2 private unis in Nigeria offer the course.

Are you trying to say no federal uni offers the coures? Because my uni does and its a fedral uni.

Have you been to Germany before? have you lived anywhere in the Europe Union before? Are those making a living in those countries returning to Nigeria because of racism?

which Uni is that?

I haven't but I have related with people who have, and that was the story they told. If you have a different opinion you are welcome to share.

ATBU its in bauchi state. They just started though.

ATBU-Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi. I just checked it out. According to the school website, the school started in 1980. Funny that I never heard about it till now. How well do they offer the course? Practicals? Is it as in depth as it should or just a clone of mechanical Engineering?

I wonder why people ask these questions.
Why do you need to study mechatronics at undergraduate level? Especially when the fundamentals of control engineering is well-covered in mechanical or electrical engineering. In fact, control theory cuts across chemical, mechanical, and electrical engineering.

People just read up one name on the Internet and start feeling funky with themselves.

Yeah, am not surprised! I get that a lot, its a small school. At a time it was the best place to study engineering in nigeria, talking about some years back, if you check wikipedia, I think it should still be there. but considering how things backslide in nigeria.. Enough said.
ATBU programmes are good and am not just saying because I school there.
Civil programme have some equipments that construction companies pay to use
Geology programme also and so many other programmes.
The programme is new, they just admitted the first batch, and their complex is still under construction, believe it would be completed very soon.

Why do you always feel the need to bash people looking for information? I believe that's one of the purpose of the forum? If your so intolerant as a mod, I wonder how you will be as a leader.

You not only need to be bashed, you should be flogged even.

You know that thread about moderators you hate?
Abeg go complain there.

Oh no, don't get me wrong. I don't hate you. What's there to hate about you? Would hating you affect the price of gary neville in transfer market?
Its just saddening, you giving small power as a mod!!! And you abuse it.
