MECHATRONIC ENGINEERING

Mechatronic Engineering is the hybrid discipline of mechanics, electronics and computing. It describes a new concept in the world of making value added products. In the past, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers and computer engineers needed to co-operate to develop a product from concept to customer. Industry now needs a skilled engineer who can manage all three disciplines simultaneously, especially at the design stage to create "intelligent machines", e.g. cameras, robots, washing machines, etc., the demand for which is continually increasing.
