other spin off in the industry are vision systems and robotic control! (look at ABB robots and cognex vision if your interested)
thanks gareth. although i took a mech. eng. degree, it was a toss up between that and electrical/electronic. looking back, maybe i made the wrong choice but i can't complain at where the mech. eng has taken me so far.
any details on the courses that you took please?
