I’m looking to study mechatronics or robotics engineering for my bachelors, and want to build a portfolio through part-time projects or freelance gigs. I’m trying to figure out which specific niches are actually viable for solo/remote freelance work or small-scale projects.
For those of you in the industry or currently freelancing, what areas would you recommend focusing on? I’ve been looking into:
PCB Design & Prototyping
Mechanical Design Using CAD (SolidWorks/Fusion 360)
I want to sharpen my skills while making some extra income, eventually aiming for a more formal career in robotics/mechatronics (possibly through either vocational training or a degree).
What are some must-have resources (i.e Books, YouTubers, and Software) for entry-level complexity projects so I can learn?
Your advice means the world to me! Appreciate any and all input!
