modern electronic and mechanical equipment. In other words, we look at the issue of
what a mechanical or manufacturing engineer needs to know in order to sensibly design
mechatronic systems. We also introduce the basic concepts that electrical / electronics
engineers will need to understand when interfacing computer systems to mechanical
devices."
