Mechatronics
Mechatronics is a discipline concerned with the integration of mechanical, electronic and software engineering. A detailed understanding of how these areas interact enables the development of ‘smart’ products and systems such as computercontrolled robots and washing machines.
Careers
Mechatronics engineers gain employment with companies that develop and use advanced automation equipment, computer integrated manufacturing systems and ‘smart’ products.
