With the pervasive spread of mechatronics to engineered products and systems of all kinds, it is imperative that engineering students be exposed to its principles and practices.
Mechatronic products are at the cutting edge of the highly competitive international marketplace.
Regardless of discipline, engineers will encounter mechatronic systems in their professional practice. In order to participate fully in all stages of engineering design, from conceptualization to final product design, a working understanding of the capabilities and limitations of mechatronics is essential.
