Mechatronics Definition and 72 Threads

I study Mechatronics, but my dream is actually getting into brain-computer interfaces. I think that's more electronics, but I'm such a newbie that I have no clue what I should really study (probably takes a good chunk of neuroscience as well...). Now, don't ask me how, but I got stuck in...

I'm a mechatronics student, and for my grad project i would like to create a prosthetic robotic arm and I would like to get some back up on the subject maybe some reference. please link anything suitable, I really would appreciate information about electrical requirements, mechanical...

Mechatronics course..someone asked me "why do we need to study calculus".how to reply So we're mechatronics 1st year, we're about to start our second semester just having finished statics WITHOUT calculus. I presume this semester we're starting on Calculus. My classmate grudgingly asked me why...

Hey, I was wondering, since mechatronics deals with control system and computer programming, what sort of programming language would be beneficial for me to start learning now before my university starts? since i have around 6 months i though i would be good idea to start learning some...

Hey, Today i was at the book store and every book regarding Mechatronics was either specifically "Robotics" or else it was math heavy books. Is anyone aware of any books regarding mechatronics that is written for the laymen? If such books arent even written or I am better off...

Hey guys, do you have any idea of mechatronics application in real life ? Maybe in industry, or in our everyday life ? I heard a lot about robots, but I think they are rarely used in our life. I want to make my thesis, and my friends want to make a quadcopter, a wind turbine, a spider...

Hi, I'm applying to Waterloo's Engineering program right now, but am torn between mechatronics engineering and mechanical engineering (with a possible mechatronics option in 3rd/4th years). I recognize the importance of the interdisciplinary nature of mechatronics to the industry, but I...

I am interested in studying mechatronics in my masters level. Please, how can I go about it? I learn't that machatronics is studied as a course under aeronautics. How true is that. I stay in Nigeria, and here, we don't have aeronautic engineering, let alone mechatronics, nor robotic...

Hi! I'm currently in 12th grade here in Hungary (= last year of high school), and have to decide which university I want to go to, and which course I want to take. I'm mainly interested in physics and a bit less in biology, programming and math. Don't get me wrong I like those as well, but...

Hi. I'm 21 year old and I'm currently changing colleges. (I quit Managerial Physics after 1.5 years) The field of mechatronics seems very attractive to me in regard to its curriculum and the wide range of applications they say it has. I was wondering: Does anybody here have any real-life...

Why is Robotics and Mechatronics in Mechanical Engineering if its more electrcity!? Doesent Robots and Mechatronics have to do more with Electrcial Engineering? Robots think with electronics not with mechanical or thermodynamics.

I'm a mechatronic engineer student and want some suggestions please for my 3rd year projects.

Hey, I'm in second year of engineering, and have to pick my courses for third year. I have the option of going into mechatronics or stick to regular mechanical engineering.I don't know what i should do. I heard mechatronics has a lot to do with controls system. I want to invent my own things...

I currently taking a mechanics course from the physics department at my university, and was wondering what is the difference between physics mechanics and Mechanical/Mechatronics/Robotics/Machine mechanics? Is there much if any difference? I looking into mechatronics engineering probably at...

Hi, I'm currently in undergaduate physics, and going to be switching to either engineering physics or mechatronics engineering. I really need a bit more info on both subject areas, but mainly mechatronics. What areas of work there are available to them? What is a typical workday like...

Hi all! Firstly great site I've been looking for something like this! I just finished year 12(in australia) and will be going to uni this year doing an undergrade degree in mechatronics engineering at monash uni(4 years). I need some advise on which electives i should take. I am interested in...

Hi all. Over here (New Zealand!), a BE is 4 years long (although it's hons). The first year is not specialized, it is just general engineering. All engineers do the same first year, before choosing their specialization. I all ready know what specialization I want to do, mechatronics. I also...

I'll be applying to University of Waterloo and I was wondering which is better: Mechatronics Engineering or Systems Design Engineering. Please list some pros and cons especially regarding future prospects. Thank you.

I was wondering does anyone have any info about the Mechatronics program of U of T and how it works. I'm very interested and determined to get into Mechatronics but I'm clueless about how it is offered. Waterloo is lowest on my list however, I am not planning on moving.

I am very interested in the field of mechatronics. I am currently going to school at Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, MI working toward a dual degree in electrical and mechanical engineering. The university is also developing a Master of Mechatronics program, which is supposed...

Does anyone know wat is this course about whether its good to choose it as my studying subject? thx

How is Systems Engineering different from Mechatronics Engineering?
