✦ Synopsis

The paper presents an educational view on the concept of mechatronics as a logical development of rationalization and integration across the traditional subject disciplines of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer technology. Examples of case studies, project investigations and research activities are included as illustrations of current mechatronics teaching practice within the mechanical engineering department at the Dundee Institute of Technology.
