Description
Provides a comprehensive overview of the various technologies and tools used to develop mechatronic devices. Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, computer engineering, control engineering, and systems design engineering in order to design, and manufacture useful products. Designed for a first course in mechatronics, it contains numerous practical, classroom-tested examples, experiments, and simulations using SIMULINK, MATLAB, and LabVIEW, and presents material in a format that lends itself to collaborative, project-based learning.
