widespresad use of embedded computing in mechanical and other physical system has lead to a need for new skills and attitudes on the part of engineers who arre leaders and central participants in projects that lead to such products.

The intent is to provide background for use both in design of curricla for educational institutions interested in mechatronics and control and to focus on research areas that will lead to advances in the art of mechatronics.
