Applied Mechatronics synthesizes the disciplines of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering to provide a comprehensive overview of the various technologies and tools used to develop mechatronic devices.
Co-written by Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering professors who co-teach this interdisciplinary course, this text highlights the information each discipline might have considered prerequisite so students can focus on material new to them. Designed for a first course in mechatronics, it contains numerous practical, classroom-tested examples, experiments, and...

Mechatronics is an important trend in mechanical engineering: for mechanical engineers to understand the electronic systems that control their machines and designing the entire electromechanical system as a whole. This book addresses the fundamental issue of mechatronics by integrating the electrical and machine components into the design concept.
