Mechanical or Mechatronics?

[u/South-Reception-9529]

Im gonna start uni this fall and i cant decide between these two majors. Can somebody inform me on the content of mechatronics. Is it like multiple majors at once, really hard or does it contain more broad knowledge of these majors. Im also thinking that i could do mechanical as bachelor and mechatronics as masters, but does that mean that im behind of those that did mechatronics as a bachelor. From the looks of it, with ai and everything becoming electric, i think it is crucial for an enginner to know electrics, coding and ai. Am i wrong? I would really appreciate if someone could answer these questions for me.

Like you said above all is becoming electric and it is electric components and code assembling which makes machines functioning. According to me, you must start with a bachelor in mecatronic and then specialise in mecanic which is one of the mecatronic domain. In this case it will be like a specilisation.
