asked on

Is there anyone here Who can show me the Way of Being Mechatronics Engineer.

Hi guys,
Since I have conscious, I know I love computers
And electronic devices
And mechanic designs.

Now there is an industrial science which is called mechatronics includes all of them.

After some device designs and learning ASM for PIC controllers and getting experience with Delphi I realised I just not love mechatronics, besides I have talent for it.

My plan is getting enough money with my current job (8 hours a day) and (same time) get experience by projects and reading (10 hours a day) after getting enough foundation get good education for mechanic, electronic and Delphi from a Professional.
So, which universiy in USA you can recommend me
Or do you think should I hire experts to teach me for the advances of programming, electronics and mechatronics?
Or what would you do if you were me?
Thank you

A mechatronics project to stop Hunger in Africa


Hi guys,

I love mechatronics

And my real job is Veterinarian an I also love it.

I have seen Pictures of childreen from Africa for years and suffer for them.

When I combine these 3 situations I decided to make a project.

Self managed robotic barns with digital and infrared camera visioned different kind of robots.

I want to build prototypes in my country then in the other countries which suffer from hunger.

I have sense that I can accomplish this idea in years. But I need your guide to be a good mechatronic

study english first if you want to follow courses in usa

You might look at the basic course requirements

you meant "study english as well" I think, and I am working on it

study the most difficult first, the rest is easier
most difficult for me was the electronics :)

everything has to start somewhere, you can always start in studying electronic schemas
like the timers :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_timer_IC
hmm
do you know this one for PIC programming which I follow. I think it is the best which I ever read.

But I am still lack of basic electronic skills. Do you know good source for it?
Which I can follow from very beginning to be pro?

I got the message you gave. I got it because I tried to build a CNC like robot from 0. Tried to build its Electronic card and mechanical parts. Therefore I understood the thing you explained.

However my principle is this: Pathways just for the ones who knows the long way.
I meant if I don't know how to build an electronic card how can I explain, what I want to do, to the expert.

Anyway for the next decade I can study day and night from beginning to end. I just don't want to waste my time surfing internet to find a piece of knowledge (and compile all of them :) to build a usable library in my brain.

It would be very nice to have a source which I can follow from beginning to end.

nice one thank you.. (and 100 point it is :)
lol, there is never a guarantee that you won't hurt your brain ... :)

About electricity my plan is this interesting approach.
this is Turkish (from news) sorry for that

but there is also this one in English

I believe in that this is not scam and my plan is to use this jenerator.

But our problem is being mechatronics first. Don't worry I ll take care of the problems later...
It is a scam there is no such thing as free energy.  
Ugh. I'm sorry I wasted my time on this. I'm clicking the 'Stop Monitoring' link at the top now.
"My plan is getting enough money with my current job (8 hours a day) and (same time) get experience by projects and reading (10 hours a day)"

8 hr work +  10 hr reading  leaves 6 hours to sleep (not enough) 0 hours to eat. You will starve.

So, which universiy in USA you can recommend me
Try MIT. They also have many free lectures on the Internet

"Or do you think should I hire experts to teach me for the advances of programming, electronics and mechatronics?"

NO  Is a waste of money.  Best to go to a good university
The first thing.
If that is scam (wich I don't think) I can find another way especially the solar one.

:aburr

I work while eating (in my brain lab, try to figure out the solutions (and it really works sometimes)), and also sleeping (with continuing brain functions which settle the learned knowledge into neurons like the other human (but may be with exception I am learning electronics and so on while the others learning mp3s).

About MIT Thanks alot

And this message worth 100 points (In my consideration).

about
So you've got a bit of catch-up to do if you want to re-invent that wheel.

No actually I am just trying to reduce the cost of production with home made ingredients
Economies of scale will kill you.. the initial prototype may cost you thousands while the end product in volume may cost only a few hundred. You can build a simple transistor in your home but it will cost you 100 x the price of a simple 555 timer or an op amp which has many transistors.

If you want to start simple and homegrown create your own hard drive.  Think about the costs involved and the cost that a much better manufactured hard drive will cost you.

right now you don't know what you don't know.  The way of learning is that the more that you know the more that you know that you don't know, until you know absolutely everything about something small (but it is significant).
Guys what about California technology instute. I heard very good things about it
I meant California Institute of Technology
"Guys what about California technology instute. I heard very good things about it"

It is indeed VERY good but MIT is probably a little more engineering orientated.
how can i go to Cit or mit graduate, undergraduate or? I have PhD in microbiology but I am not sure it means something

I tried to get information from another university before and They even didn't care to answer therefore I am little unenthusiastic for application forms.
Besides I have very good feelings for California Technology institute. I think I will apply to there.

However. Any suggestion how to do that. For example I am 33 years old, graduated from faculty of Veterinary and got PhD.
Which course or which kind of studentship could be suitable for me?
Thanks anyway.
why change ? being Vet is great....
what you want to be all depends on you...
no one can tell you that....
I know, but I need to use my talents and it looks they are much more about mechanic then veterinary. And I also want to use that talent to serve veterinary.

Thanks everyone I got some useful thoughts after this discussion
Just back after a long holiday.  Sorry for the delay.

The mission of every public and private non-profit university is to educate people.  
So they are much more interested in applicants who need an education than those that already have one.

With a terminal degree (a PhD) you would probably not be accepted into most undergraduate or graduate programs.

At MIT, for example, you might qualify as a Special Student:   http://web.mit.edu/admissions/graduate/special_students/index.html
There is additional information for International Students:     http://web.mit.edu/admissions/graduate/special_students/international_students.html
And some financial information as well:           http://web.mit.edu/admissions/graduate/special_students/information.html

As someone with a strong science background and a PhD, you are nominally qualified to teach at the university level.
You should certainly be able to teach yourself the practical aspects of electrical and mechanical engineering.

The scope of your target project (the robotic barn) is certainly larger than any single person could handle.  
The project team would certainly include electrical, mechanical, and computer engineers as you have suggested.  
But it would also require experts in business and finance (an MBA type) and public policy (lawyer or political science type).  
The most important member of the team would be someone expert in application area, in this case. agriculture and veterinary science.  

This last role is probably the one you would be most suited for.
thanks for interest firstly

I am pretty sure I ll be happy to be the most important person in a project however I have to share something.

There is very popular Laboratory test which is called ELISA and I designed the fastest program in the market, to get data from ELISA reader device, interpret and report.

then I designed the fastest ELISA robot on the earth and also wrote its program. Therefore I know if I do something with robots or programs I can do it better then regular one.

I don't want this talent, be abandoned, this is my concern...
