This is what mechatronic all about!

Mechatronics? You guys probably wonder what is mechatronics all about. Base on wikipedia, the definition of mechatronic is the combination of mechanics, electronics, control engineering, computing and molecular engineering which make possible the generation more simpler, more economical, reliable and versatile systems. From my point of view, i define mechatronics isthe science to produce intelligent and highly performance motion profiles with simple mechanics.Mechatronics is a difficult term to define. It covers a lot of territory and is, as one comment mentions, almost meaningless because it is so broad. I think the term is mecha- due to the fact that every application is bounded by its mechanical design as a starting point. The -tronics is intended to capture the electronics element as either control or power, and sometimes both.But somehow the more we try to define, the harder it is to put a fence on what field of endeavor we are in. Its fairly easy to identify mechatronics when looking at a robot or a machine tool. Specialty machinery in all the major fields, medical packaging, food industry applications, large data storage systems, are all identifiable as applications of mechatronics.

Has Mechatronic contribute something to our needs? yes, indeed! For instance, Wind Power? Mechatronic. Find the ideal turbine or blade configuration to turn a gear train that spins an electric generator. The lower the minimum wind speed that the system will operate at and the higher the efficiency, the more energy that can be harvested from the wind. You probably never think of this but most CD and DVD players have a mechatronic solution for loading the disk, a spindle drive to spin the disk and a mechanism to move the read head across the tracks of the platter to read the information and controls to coordinate all those activities. Audio or video.

So in addition to all buzz about mechatronics’ contribution to industry, there are emerging markets and applications that will make a difference in our energy consumption patterns, national security interests and improve our environment. All at the same time. Therefore, these are the reasons why i decide to take mechatronic engineering in UniMAP. There are a lot of potential
i can see from this university in fulfilling every engineer dreams. I also believe that UniMAP have what it takes to produce quality student in future . I personally, have made a right choice in choosing this university as my dream to be a successful engineer .



Check out Guy Negre’s MDI company in Luxembourg.He is creator of the compressed-air mono-energy engine is no newcomer to automobile/mechatronic engineering.This are 2-stroke scooters which distributing electric mopeds that will provide an ideal solution: a complete absence of CO2 and, in particular, a reduction of over 97% in fuel consumption costs.
