Mechatronics Engineering!
Incorporating Electronics More and More into Mechanisms
Mechatronics
is an interdisciplinary branch of mechanical engineering,
electrical and computer engineering, and software engineering
that is concerned
with integrating electrical and mechanical engineering to create
hybrid systems. In essence, mechatronics is adding intelligence
to a mechanical design or replacing mechanical designs with an
intelligent electronic solution.

What Mechatronics Engineers Do?
Mechatronics is at the cutting edge of the
development of intelligent products.
A mechatronic Engineer is a person who exploits a
synergy between mechanics and electronics to design,
construct and maintain improved products and
processes.
Mechatronics engineers can work in design
and construction
of new products or upgrading existing products.
Mechatronics engineers use their
skills in computers, microcontrollers, programmable logic
controllers,
programming, industrial sensors, hydraulic,
pneumatic and electric drives,
design of mechanical structures and knowledge of
production processes.
Mechatronics engineers have research and
development opportunities in
nanotechnology, robotics, Wire technologies for
vehicles,
biomedical engineering, and other developing
areas.
