Introduction

This program is a cross-disciplinary combination of mechanics, electronics, electrical engineering and computing essence the use of microelectronics to control mechanical devices. The most commonly used one emphasizes synergy: Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering with electronics and intelligent computer control in the design and manufacture of products and processes.

Justification

Since the majority of machines we use today contain embedded electronic control systems, mechatronic specialists can be involved with the design and construction of a huge range of equipments: video recorders and washing machines, traffic control systems and anti-lock brakes, medical scanners and artificial organs, photocopiers, automatic production systems, industrial robots and computer-controlled machine tools. The word, though relatively new, is now common in the field but it is as yet rarely seen outside universities and other specialist groups. A more formal term for the discipline is mechatronics engineering, which employs the singular form mechatronic as an adjective. As with many other similar terms, mechatronics is usually treated as a singular noun.
