I. Course Overview:

Mechatronics is rapidly developing interdisciplinary field of engineering. It deals

with the synergetic integration of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering,
computer engineering and control engineering in the development of
electromechanical products, through a unified design approach. Therefore the study
of mechatronics systems requires a multidisciplinary approach. A conventional
undergraduate curriculum in engineering doesn’t provide such abroad and
multidisciplinary concept. The word mechtronics was first used in Japan in the late
1960 spread through Europe and is now commonly used in all other parts of world.
