What is Mechatronics? تعريف الميكاترونيات

"Integration of electronics, control engineering, and mechanical engineering"

My Working Definition

"Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of sensors, actuators, signal conditioning, power electronics, decision and control algorithm and computer hardware and software to manage complexity, uncertainty, and communication in engineered system"

Mecha= Mechanics

Why Mechatronics?

Mechatronics covers four important Branches in field of Engineering

· Mechanical Engineering

· Electrical Engineering

· Computer Engineering

· Information systems

The Mechatronics Option in Mechanical Engineering allows students interested in mechanical systems integrated with embedded electronics, sensors, actuators and related systems to have a course and project concentration in these areas.

Mechatronic Engineer Career Path

الحياه العمليه لمهندس الميكاترونيات

Mechatronic Engineering combines mechanical engineering, electronics and computing. It is the enabling technology of computer-automated manufacturing through the use of robots and automated machine tools. Mechatronics may be concerned with individual machines such as robots, or manufacturing systems automated in their entirety. Mechatronic engineers use computers and other digital systems to control industrial processes. They bring electronic, materials and mechanical sciences together to create a diverse range of products. These range from everyday products such as cameras, washing machines, photocopiers and anti-lock car brakes, to miniaturised substitutes for human organs and to powerful and precise computer-controlled machine tools used in manufacturing.
