  1. ECT 459 Winter 2007 Lecture 1 What is Mechatronics?

  2. What is Mechatronics?

  3. What is Mechatronics? Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of mechanical engineering, electronics, controls engineering, and computers, all integrated through the design process. It involves the application of complex decision making to the operation of physical systems. Mechatronic systems depend for their unique functionality on computer software.
