About this book:

The overall aim of the book is to give comprehensive coverage of mechatronics which can be used with courses for both technicians and undergraduates in engineering and, hence, to help the reader:
• acquire a mix of skills in mechanical engineering, electronics, and computing which is necessary if he/she is to be able to comprehend and design mechatronics systems;
• become capable of operating and communicating across the range of
engineering disciplines necessary in mechatronics;
• be capable of designing mechatronic systems.
