Mechatronics and Curriculum Development

Abstract

With the course of time, because of the advancements in technology, each branch of engineering began to have offshoot<s) and made their presence felt as a distinct discipline. We find that 'production technology' separated from mechanical engineering discipline, 'electronics' discipline from electrical engineering discipline, 'computer technology' from electronics discipline, 'concrete technology' is now emerging from civil engineering discipline and so on. Mechatronics is one such emerging technology.
