The field of robotics and mechanical design is one of the most exciting career options available today. With advancements being made continuously as new technology is developed and produced, this is one of the latest professional fields. The need for robotic and mechanical assistance and design has entered a wide range of industries, from architecture to entertainment to business to medicine. As a result, the current demand for trained professionals in the area of robotics, mechanical and industrial design is very high. Professionals in the field of robotics, mechanical and industrial design should be trained in developing specifications, dealing with troubleshooting of a particular design, testing a design for efficiency and finding ways in which to improve its quality. Programs that teach robotics, mechanical and industrial design will cover a number of subjects including AutoCAD, which is the latest tool being used by designers today to create 2D and 3D designs and drafts with details. Students will also learn about SolidWorks, which is a mechanical design software that is used in the automated assembly and drafting functions for engineering and designing parts in 3D. In robotics, mechanical and industrial design students will learn about CATIA, a design software which is used to make 3D models in the car and airplane industry. The conceptual design software Pro-Engineer is also taught. Students will know more about Unigraphics, which used for simulation, manufacturing, modeling and analysis. Autodesk Inventor is also covered in these programs. A professional in the field of robotics, mechanical and industrial design should be able to automate the manufacture of products, calculate engineering characteristics, draw specifications and parts and list and improve the overall product quality. Graduates in this field can find employment in the areas construction, electronics, aerospace, naval design programs and architecture. There is also tremendous scope for further studies and specialization in this field.
