INTEGRATION

Insightful Quotations about Mechatronics

1/28/201512

Successful mechanical engineers today simply have to be comfortable with electronics. It's become such an integral part of the motion-control world that it can't be ignored; it can't be left for the EEs to take care of, either

Dan Jones, motion control consultant

from Back to Motor School, ME Magazine December 2003.

Mechanical engineers are often at a loss to communicate and understand the issues electrical engineers and the software specialists bring up [at meetings of interdisciplinary product teams]. The idea is to get rid of uncertainties associated with electronics and computers. We want to develop people who are comfortable making the necessary trade-offs among a wide range of approaches based on the given design constraints.

Ed Carryer, Stanford University

from Getting a Hold on Mechatronics, ME Magazine, May 1997.
