“Advanced technology to create⟳ energy-saving, resource-saving and highly intelligent systems by integrating mechanics, electronics and software is called mechatronics.”

“So what's this new hybrid called a Mechatronics Engineer? Simply stated, these pros apply⟳ mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering theory and techniques to create⟳ automated, intelligent products, smart devices, and industrial control⟳ systems--systems that can then be "taught" to improve⟳ their performance. This is where many future engineering jobs are headed.”
