Mechatronics is a multi-disciplinary engineering field that integrates the education of Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics, and Systems and Computer Engineering. The objective of this new engineering undergraduate program is to formally prepare its graduates for working in the design, manufacture, and end-use sides of mechatronic devices (the quintessential examples being any industrial, commercial, or consumer robotic-like device). By having three equal departmental partners involved in the development if this program, the goal can be a sincere synthesis of materials from the different root disciplines (instead of the commonly used approach of having a single department define the core of mechatronics and then add patches for the other departments).
