It is a sub-major of mechanical engineering and an interdisciplinary branch of engineering that focuses on the integration of mechanical, electronic, and electrical engineering systems, and also includes a combination of robotics, electronics, computer science, telecommunications, systems, control, and product engineering.
Mechanical modeling calls for modeling and simulating physical phenomena in the scope of a multi-scale and multi-physical approach. That implies implementing and managing modeling and optimization methods and tools, which are integrated into a systemic.
The mechatronics engineer uses a combination of mechanical, electrical, computer and software skills to work with smart technologies, such as robots, automated guided systems, and computer-integrated manufacturing equipment.
