MECHATRONICS EDUCATION - SYNERGISTIC INTEGRATION OF NEW PARADIGM FOR ENGINEERING EDUCATION

Lato Sensu

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

The new economic order is demanding greater competitiveness of enterprises, which is only achieved with a higher level of automation of their processes. This means a greater demand in several areas of knowledge such as mechanical engineering, electro-electronics, control and computing systems, this is known as Mechatronics. Mechatronics engineering courses, as well as vocational training courses are rapidly increasing across the world. This paper defines mechatronics from a disciplinary identity towards thematic, and reviews some aspects of education training for mechatronics. To further illustrate this definition process, examples from various projects are presented. It proposes a list of features that a specialization program in mechatronics engineering should contain, increasing the need in the future for discipline based mechatronics engineers.
