Introduction to Mechatronics System Design

Mechatronics is the engineering field, a combination of major subfields i.e. mechanical engineering, electronics, computer engineering and control engineering. With the advancements in technology, the number of subfields multiply. Mechatronics engineers find ways to solve problem looking into every branch of science that is the reason why it has grown up so early after it's introduction. Recently to subfields i.e. telecommunications engineering and systems engineering are also included in this field.

Mechatronics  System as a combination of mechanical systems, electronic systems, computer systems and control systems

Mechanical engineering is used to design the structure of the system and drive mechanism. Electronic systems incorporates the electronic devices and circuits that will send and receive required signals in the form of electrical energy. Control systems define the stability and response of the system with respect to the given input. Computer systems convert the instruction written in the form of easy to understand program into the signals that drive the electronic circuits. Finally the output of the electronic circuit drives the mechanical systems. 

Sensors and transducers are incorporated in the circuits to automate the systems. Artificially intelligent systems that take decisions on their own can also be made. Telecommunication engineering is applied to these systems for control the mechanisms from distant places. These are some of it's features but not all, there is lot more to explore in this field. This is our motivation to study this course.
