When I look back at my 5 years in LASU, the things I'm most grateful for can't be found on a transcript.

Not the CGPA. Not the awards. Not the positions.

I'm grateful for every student I was able to help, every voice I stood up for, every smile I was privileged to put on someone's face, even when I had very little myself.

Even after graduation, I’m still doing the same thing—helping students and young people find their feet. I founded a foundation that has helped students stay in school, because I believe you don’t need to have everything before you can give something.

I graduated with a 4.5/5.0 CGPA, held 10+ leadership positions, earned 10+ awards and certifications, and helped 10+ students stay in school.

But if you ask me what I’m most proud of?

The people who can say, “You were there for me.”

That, to me, is the real degree.

@OSGSKIDDO Interested

[Samoa @Samuel_Obaseki1]

@sochima_tech I'm in love

[Samoa @Samuel_Obaseki1]

@ChuksEmma947401 I am Interested Sir

[Samoa @Samuel_Obaseki1]

@osasinrobotics There is a new Opay Hackathon you can apply

@Stryker_Eureka0 @_B_E_J_O_ @AiPrepperX @aurora_robots @Max_Sengu @Tripleace_Ade @_successakanbi @EmmanuelMakes My love for hardware

[Samoa @Samuel_Obaseki1]

@ruffydfire Please we need one at LASU

[Samoa @Samuel_Obaseki1]

@gaagana_ Good morning Sir, thank you for this great opportunity. I will be starting exams by the end of this month and I really want to apply for the Data analysis Internship, but I don't want to risk juggling examinations with the internship and end up not performing well. What can I do?

[Samoa @Samuel_Obaseki1]

@osasinrobotics How can I be part of this😊

[Samoa @Samuel_Obaseki1]

@DanlosVisuals12 You'll still eventually end up soldering

[Samoa @Samuel_Obaseki1]

@princess_yfe @yfe_embedded You can also simulate Raspberry pi on wokwi, you can also make use of Proteus for simulation.

[Samoa @Samuel_Obaseki1]

@princess_yfe Alright I would, thank you😊

[Samoa @Samuel_Obaseki1]

@princess_yfe So excited 😊

[Samoa @Samuel_Obaseki1]

@princess_yfe Yes ma or either Embedded Systems Engineering or something related.

[Samoa @Samuel_Obaseki1]

@ANITAcitk @instablog9ja A lot of people need to hear this.

[Samoa @Samuel_Obaseki1]

@DanlosVisuals12 @princess_yfe Hardware are really expensive guyy

Ordinary GSM module cost up to 10k as tiny as it is 😪

[Princess Bamigboye @princess_yfe]

Jack of all trades… Master of none?

Or… The future of engineering? 🤔

Mechatronics has to be one of the most versatile courses you can study

It’s mechanical + electronics + software + control systems

All in one

So yeah, the hype makes sense 😂

If you’re a mechatronics student trying to pick a path, this will help 👇🏽

Here are some directions you can go:

1️⃣ Manufacturing & Industrial Automation

Think smart factories

PLCs, sensors, CNC machines, cobots…

You’ll build systems that monitor machines, predict failures, and keep everything running efficiently

2️⃣ Automotive Engineering

Motors, actuators, control systems

LiDAR, RADAR, sensors…

Battery systems for EVs

Self-driving cars

This is where hardware meets intelligence 🤖

3️⃣ Biomedical / Biomechatronics

One of my favourites 🤭

Prosthetics. Surgical robots. Wearables.

ECG, EMG, glucose monitoring…

Even exoskeletons for rehab

(Go and look up the Da Vinci Surgical System. You'll love it ☺️)

4️⃣ AgriTech 🌱

Yes, agriculture too

Smart irrigation. Drone spraying.

Crop monitoring with computer vision

Autonomous tractors

This space is growing fast

5️⃣ Aerospace & Defense

Drones. UAVs. Flight systems.

Space robotics (rovers, satellites)

You’ll deal with IMUs, gyros, control systems…

This one is not for the weak 😅

Or…
If you don’t want to pick one lane?

Build something

Join a startup

Become the CTO
Who knows? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Use everything

Now let’s be real

You’ll need skills:

Python, C++, MATLAB
Embedded systems
ROS/ROS2
SLAM
Control systems
CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360)
AI/ML…

The list is long 😭

But that’s the beauty of it

Endless options
Slight confusion
But a lot of power

Mechatronics is not “too broad.”

It’s leverage

And if you use it well?
You’ll never be limited

Mechatronics is the future

Don’t say I didn’t tell you 🦾
