Mechatronics: Electronic Control Systems in Mechanical EngineeringThe term Mechatronics describes the interdisciplinary and integrated approach to engineering and compauter technology. This book aims to provide a basic background to mechatronics and provide links through to more specialized skills. It covers the Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC) Mechatronics A and B units (1413G and 1414G), these units being core units of their HNC/HND courses and designed to fit alongside specialist units. |
