Hi @SpencerWick

Transitioning from software engineering to a master's in mechatronic engineering is a great path, with your programming skills being highly valuable in areas like automation, robotics, and control systems. While you'll need to catch up on mechanical and electrical engineering concepts, many programs offer introductory courses to help with this. Expect hands-on, project-based work involving both hardware and software, which will broaden your expertise. This combination of skills opens up strong job prospects in industries like robotics, automotive, and manufacturing, making the transition a rewarding choice.
