Study Options: Mechatronics
Introduction
Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of mechanical engineering (“mecha” for mechanisms, i.e., machines that ‘move’), electronic engineering (“tronics” for electronics), and software engineering.
Description
Mechatronics is centered on mechanics, electronics and computing which, combined, make possible the generation of simpler, more economical, reliable and versatile systems. The “mechatronics” was first coined by Mr. Tetsuro Mori, a senior engineer of the Japanese company Yaskawa, in 1969. Mechatronics may alternatively be referred to as “electromechanical systems” or less often as “control and automation engineering”.
A typical mechatronic engineering degree would involve classes in engineering mathematics, mechanics, machine component design, mechanical design, thermodynamics, circuits and systems, electronics and communications, control theory, programming, digital signal processing, power engineering, robotics and usually a final year thesis.
Companies
A candidate is eligible to work in Mechanical, electrical, companies Mechatronic engineers possess the core skills of mechanical engineers and electrical engineers. Their knowledge enables them to solve a wide range of mechanical, electrical and software problems, allowing them to participate in and lead multidisciplinary design teams.
Mechatronic engineers are employed by product developers and manufacturers, large and small, by the mining industry, by the aerospace and defence sectors, and by the government and industry research groups.
Programs
Students can opt for Bachelors & Masters in mechanical engineering wherein they can specialize in Mechatronics.

To become a successful professional in the specified field of nanotechnology
Introduction
It is a technology that creates small materials on the scale of molecules by manipulating single atoms. The term ‘Nano’ comes from the size of molecules measured in nanometers, or one billionth of a meter.
Description
It impacts all major sectors, like solar energy, aerospace, environment, telecommunications and computing. The influence of nanotechnology on new product development areas ranges from electronics and information technology to medical devices and cosmetics and from science to entertainment. (Computers, cell phones, laptops, PDA, digital cameras and MP3 players. Nanoparticles are integrated in existing products like paints, papers and polymers)
The progress in nanotechnology has been leading to the development of super-high density data storage and super-high speed microprocessors, memory chips and novel nanodevices.
In medical science it offers intelligent drug delivery systems that will search out and destroy cancer tumors too small for conventional surgery
Programs
To become a successful professional in the specified field of nanotechnology, it is important that you should have an M.Tech. degree in the subject.
For M.Tech course:- Bachelors in Physics, Chemistry or Biotechnology.
Nanotechnology as a Bachelor’s degree course is not offered at any reputed institute in India. It is a multi-disciplinary and applied field, a M.Tech in Mechanical, Chemical, Electronic, Biotechnology, Computer Science .
For PhD Course:- An MSc in Physics, Chemistry, Material Science, Biotechnology, Computer Science qualifies one for the PhD programme.
Companies
It has application in all field so whichever companies has Research oriented Production Designs recruits students with Post Graduates in Nanotechnology.
*Mechanical engineers design, produce and test machines, instruments, controls, engines, and mechanical, thermal or heat transfer systems.
*Chemical engineers perform a variety of functions in the field of nanotechnology. These are: synthesis, functionalisms, characterizations, and optimization of materials. They develop non-material assembly processes, create test protocols, and prepare reports.
*Materials engineers design methods to change natural substances into new, stronger, and more resistant materials with unique properties.
Countries
As lot of research is involved in this subject countries like “ Germany, Sweden, Canada, USA, Netherlands” gives a solid platform for the students to develop in a good research fields with varied applications in all fields.
