Networking
Get with two others nearby whom you have not met, introduce yourselves, and share: Name What you did over the break Hobbies or interests outside of school
What is Mechatronics? The integration of:
Sensors Actuators Intelligence
with a system toproduce: More capable, versatile,
and robust performance
This is not mechatronic!My dishwasher. Is it mechatronic?
