The authors believe that integration is the core of mechatronics-and students must have a command of each of the domains to create the balance necessary for successful mechatronic design-and devote sections of the book to each area, including mechanical, electrical, and software disciplines, as well as a section on system design and engineering. A robust package of teaching and learning resources accompanies the book ER -
