Mechatronics
has emerged as a multi-technological discipline that
integrates several engineering fields including mechanical
engineering, electrical engineering, computer engineering
and information sciences. Driven by the need for improved
design and production methods as well as the emergence
of new information technology tools, mechatronics provides
a natural synergy for the integration of traditional
engineering disciplines. Based on the fundamental areas
of mechanics, electronics and computing,
the methodology of mechatronics can be applied to many
other engineering disciplines including industrial
engineering, civil engineering and materials
science.
In recent years, mechatronics courses
and research activities have become a focus of the College
of Engineering at North
Carolina State University, providing a solid infrastructure
for the Mechatronics Program. The graduate degree offering
outlined here is based on the strength of existing courses
and faculty research expertise, especially in the Mechanical
and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) Electrical
and Computer engineering (ECE) departments.
