Answer»
- Mechatronics engineers design or select sensors and actuators, develop control algorithms and use or develop advanced FUNCTIONAL materials for the design of mechanical systems such as CHASSIS stabilising systems, anti-lock brakes, ENGINE control units, disk drives, cameras, service and surgical robots and artificial hearts.
- Very often mechatronics engineers are generalists rather than specialists.
- Mechatronics systems are USED nearly everywhere in society. They range from CD and DVD players to computer hard disks, anti-lock braking systems, and "fly-by-wire" control systems for commercial jets. Each of these products is essentially mechanical in nature, but could not function without electrical and computer control systems.
