Dear student,

There is nothing like advantage of Mechatronics over Mechanical Engineering, both branches have their own advantages and one can excel in any of the two if determined.

Now since Mechatronics  is the newer branch than Mechanical Engineering so it has come up seeing the job market trends so in terms of getting Jobs maybe you will find some upper edge over Mechanical engineering branch.

Mechatronics has vast area of applications, so it has lot to offer in different field.

Below I am mentioning some area of application of Mechatronics branch.

• Computer Science
• Electrical systems
• Nanotechnology
• Robotics
• Mechanical systems
• Automation
• Biomedical systems

There is no doubt that Mechatronics is more versatile than Mechanical engineering, but no student of a particular branch is bounded to study only the branch syllabus he/she has opted for, nowadays anyone from any branch can study anything and grab the job opportunities.

I hope this answer helps you.

All the very best!!
