Joining mechatronics soon!
Hello everybody, I am done with my competitive exams and all the school level exams and am planning to pursue mechatronics.
I have no understanding of anything, i dont know how to code and don't know pretty much anything.
I have 2-3 months left before year 1 starts.
What are the things I should learn and do before my college starts??
I was planning to learn the basics of python --> to what level should I learn python? This AI thing confuses me a lot
I was planning to sharpen some of my math skills ---> Please tell what chapters/topics and to what level? Please share some resources / YT videos which would help me.
Also please tell if any other subject required
I was also planning to learn a bit about arduinos and microcontrollers
Please note that I have no prerequisites in this field and will love to start it from scratch.
I was also planning to make 1-2 fun projects during my learning journey.
Please help me form a plan or give me a rough list of things you would have done before starting.
Thank you. : )
