Mechatronics

Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electronic control and systems thinking in the design of products and processes. It pursues the design of systems, devices and products aimed at achieving an optimal balance between a basic mechanical structure and its overall control. The design of mechatronic products requires engineers with the ability to perform analysis and design in a variety of disciplines.

Mechatronics engineers design and build many consumer products and industrial systems. These include automotive components and systems, manufacturing equipment, aerospace systems, biomedical testing equipment and many others.
