What do mechatronics engineers do?

Mechatronics engineers design new products or improve existing devices by adding mechatronic elements. They also design, construct and run factory production lines and processes.
Mechatronics engineers are responsible for devices such as:

• Antiskid braking systems
• Clothes dryers that adjust their operation based on the dampness of the clothes
• Washing machines that can sense the amount of dirt in the washing load and vary water and electricity to suit
• Chemical sensors in microwave ovens that can monitor the smell of food to ensure it is cooked perfectly.
