Mechatronics is a multi-faceted field. It makes you a jack of many trades. For example, I have learned about motors, control systems, software development for making things autonomous, sensors and how to use them, electronic components and embedded hardware, kinematics, and dynamics of systems and CAD. So with this sort of knowledge, you fill roles where cross-platform expertise is demanded. A person who has some knowledge of other branches of engineering is always highly respected. You could specialise in control systems, and yet show how these can be integrated into the software side. Or you could propose how the control system can be implemented as hardware using digital electronics.
One of the biggest applications of mechatronics is robotics. Robotics could be a mix of hardware and software, like manipulator robotics, where the robot performs a certain task using hardware/ manipulators, or it could be highly software-oriented, like machine learning, where the purpose is to analyse data to make decisions.

Privileges and conditions
An SPL will allow you to act as pilot in command (PIC) on sailplanes and powered sailplanes. To fly a touring motor glider (TMG), you must also comply with the requirements detailed in the extension of privileges to TMG on the LAPL (S) page.
You can only carry passengers when you have completed at least 10 hours of flight time or 30 launches as PIC after your licence has been issued.
You cannot operate commercially, or receive any kind of payment, until you:
Age 18 years of age or over
Have completed 75 hours of flight time or 200 launches, after your licence has been issued
Have passed a proficiency check with an examiner
The exception to this is for holders of an SPL with instructor or examiner privileges, who can be paid for the following:
Flight instruction
Conducting skill tests and proficiency checks for the LAPL (S) or SPL and any associated ratings and endorsements.
