What we're talking about: Today I'm talking with Maddy about her course, the Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering/Bachelor of Commerce at Monash. We discuss enjoying your study throughout VCE and uni by allowing yourself to explore a range of options and pursue different interests. Maddy also explains how double degrees work and why she thinks they're a great option, as well as telling us all about Robotics and Mechatronics and her experience in the course so far.  Balance in VCE and at uni A common theme throughout our conversation is that balancing different interests throughout VCE and at uni can help minimise stress. Maddy talks about choosing a range of subjects in VCE, getting involved in a range of activities at school, and exploring more options with a double degree. Double degrees Maddy explains in detail how double degrees work. We discuss the benefits of double degrees and dispel some myths that I commonly hear from students that might discourage you from looking at them. Robotics and Mechatronics The first year of Engineering at Monash is a common year, allowing students to explore each of the types of Engineering they can choose from. Maddy chose Mechatronics, which is a mixture of electrical, software and mechanical engineering, and she explains what it is, goes through some of the projects she's worked on in her degree, and talks about the two main areas of AI and Automation.
