Unit Two Mechatronics Engineering Technology Introductory Remarks Listening and Talking Passage Exploration Practical Writing Workplace Project Introductory Remarks Essentially, mechatronics is the concept of working smarter — not harder — and to inexpensively get the most done in as little time as possible. The term can be defined in many different ways, but functionally, it is a blend of mechanics and the synergistic use of precision engineering, control theory, computer science, and finally sensor and actuator technology — all designed to improve products and processes. But mechatronics is more than that. It also concentrates on mechanics, electronics, control and molecular engineering as well as computing, all combining to produce simpler, economical, reliable and versatile systems. Mechatronics can also be described as the totality of fundamentals and techniques in a unified framework for service and production of future-orientated machines and products.
