wats the difference between mechanical and mechatronic engineering

Mechatronics essentially deals with applications principles and practice of Electronics to Mechanical engineering. Embedded Systems and Chip Technologies have revolutionized Mechanical Engineering. Now Electronics is being used to control Machines.

Mechatronics is a design process that includes a combination of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, control engineering and computer engineering. Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field of engineering, that is to say, it rejects splitting engineering into separate disciplines. Original
