So /sci/, a uni I'm interested in going to is starting a "robotics" course this year. They arent saying what's on it because all the modules are still yet to be confirmed. If I apply, what's the likelihood that it'll be a legit mechatronics engineering course and what's the likelihood that it'll just be CompSci feat. Arduino?

Chance of being comp sci with arduino, 100%.
Be disappointed anon

The answer lies at the level.
Is this a course offered to seniors and graduate students or to anyone?
If it is to anyone you can be sure that it is just coding in C and touching some arduinos once every month. If this is exclusive to PhD students and seniors then it probably is a legit mechatronics engineering course.

Its a course offered from straight out of high school but the course lasts 4 years. Sounds like a dead end then? The alternate route is doing a BSc in physics then doing a postgrad masters in Robotics in another uni

>but the course lasts 4 years
So it would be like getting an career? I'd rather just be in EE or ME and then specialise.

Do you reckon doing a physics degree then doing a postgrad masters in robotics is a better idea?

>implying that's not just CompSci feat. Arduino plus concepts like error calculation
>>7922008
Course as in a "major/degree/program", modules as in "classes/subjects", right?
>If I apply
Don't, new Special Snowflake™ degrees are always a terrible decision. Employers won't know if you did a full MechE program or a watered down one, did a full ECE program or was watered down. or did a full CSE program.

>BSc in physics
Why the fuck would you do that?
>>7923559
what's wrong with a physics degree? aren't superconductors/battery tech coming out of its condensed matter area?
>>7923960
For robotics career it's too broad, Choose between MechE and CompE
>>7923960
The undergrad physics degree is kinda pointless and for robotics the only relevant course would be analytical mechanics.
>>7923559
Cos after the physics degree I could do a post-grad masters in robotics at an established and renowned robotics course at a different uni

What are you bumping for, no, don't take robotics class or physics, take CompE or MechE, that way even at undergrade level you're useful, then continue to FIELD WITHIN robotic for masters.
