M.Tech. Programme in ‘Mechatronics’ School of …

1 Programme in mechatronics School of Engineering, IIT Patna 1. Introduction to the Programme : mechatronics is a multi-disciplinary study dealing with the integration of mechanical devices, actuators, sensors, electronics, intelligent controllers and computers. Many new generations of consumer or commercial products can be classified as mechatronic products as they involve mechanical as well as electronic components. The need for mechatronic education has grown due to the increase in the number and importance of such systems and devices. The program is designed to provide in-depth knowledge in the fundamentals, design, analysis and operation of mechatronic systems. The courses will be conducted by faculty from both the Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering Departments.

2 Moreover, specialists from overseas and technical staff from industries will be frequently invited to lecture some of the modules. 2.
