Mechatronics or electrical engineering?
Hey,
I'm graduating from high school this year and plan to start university this winter semester. I've always wanted to go into engineering. Since I've been interested in technology since I was a child, I already knew the general direction I was going to take. I definitely want to do something related to technology. Since I heard that mechanical engineering is rather outdated and overcrowded, I quickly decided that it would be either mechatronics or electrical engineering or electrical and information engineering . Now I wanted to ask which you think is better in terms of the degree program and career and salary prospects? I can well imagine wanting to take on a management role later on, for example as a project engineer or team leader.
I also wanted to ask whether university or university of applied sciences (FH) is better? I'd like to study in the Ruhr area. Perhaps you have some recommendations?
Thanks in advance :^)

But the orientation semesters are usually in the summer semester that is rather counterproductive.
has not heard mechatronics is so in demand because they are interdisciplinary and are not “expert” in one area. Is that right?
As already indicated, I do as an E-Technik-Ing. for a long time nix more with e-technology, but with software. You can go the way, too. Like Mecha-Ings. with jobs etc. I don’t know.

From the perspective of a mechanical engineer. Obsolete and overcrowded? The first two semesters maybe, then there are only a maximum of 30% left.
What engineer is the connection between mechanics, strength, software and electrical engineering? I don’t think of mechatronics, except you’re deeply interested in regulatory technology. The mechatronicsmen know a lot, but much too little.
In my view, only electrical engineering and mechanical engineering are still at one level.
In our engineering studies (Technical University) we were extremely broad. This begins in the field of mechanics, goes further on via materials, electrical systems, control technology, software, etc.
In comparison, the university was rather simple (less bandwidth, unnecessary complex switching of the substance).
I have a colleague who studied mechanical engineering at RWTH – there are many people, but the study seems excellent.
To your question: electrical engineering engineers will always be required by large companies like Siemens.
Whether you have the stuff to a leadership position, you will notice, but you can learn a lot. However, I think this is less important in the field of study.
