INTERVIEW Misael Elias Lopez
Author: Cristóbal Capiz Orozco All those who have been in that stage in which they must choose which university career they are going to have a sense of intrigue of how it will be. Listen to the experiences and testimonies of someone who is pursuing that career might be helpful to be able to decide. Then we will see an interview with the student from Mechatronics at CETYS University Misael Elias López. Interviewer: What made you choose this career? Interviewed: What most determined me to choose this career was my liking for electronics and mechanics, I could not decide which one I liked the most, and in mechatronics integrated both of them and that's why I chose it. Interviewer: Why this career and not another? Interviewed: That brings me back to the above, I could not choose between them, although right now I would have chosen electronic cybernetics, even so, the integration of mechanics I saw very important if I wanted to get into something related to making robots. Interviewer: Did you have any other options? Which one? Interviewed: Electronic cybernetics or IDGD (Ingeniería en Diseño Gráfico Digital) Interviewer: In general how has your experience been in the career? Interviewed: I really liked the race itself, the teachers are very difficult at times, but they have guided us a lot and taught a lot, it has been a very good experience, obviously there are teachers who you dont like, because in the class they become very difficult. But overall very good, I really liked it, I do not have a big complaint. Interviewer: How long have you been in the career? Interviewed: Almost 4 years, I going to graduate. Interviewer: What did you like the most? Interviewed: What I liked the most is the part of electronics, the part of digital electronics and analog circuits, what are potencies, electrical circuits, and digital electronics the basics, sequential circuits and all that. I move away from the mechanics. Interviewer: What has been the least you liked? Interviewed: From my curriculum, because the curriculum change, what I liked least is that at the beginning we were very mechanical and we hoped that we were half and half all the semesters, but it was first mechanics and at half-time we started to see electronics, it was a very abrupt change. Interviewer: What skills have you developed throughout the race? Interviewed: Rather like solving the problems, in the part of the mechanics is much inclined to be analyzing how things are solved, they always tell you that there is a methodology of how to solve the problems and from there what is the logical thinking goes to everything What is circuits, digital electronics is pure conbinational logic, sequential logic, circuit analysis follows a methodology, but in circuits you have to think a lot. Interviewer: What does a mechatronics engineer do?
