  Lecturer : Dr. Maziah binti Mohamad Semester : Semester x 201x/xx
  Synopsis: The course provides students with an introduction to mechatronics and its application in the real world. It will examine a number of key topics of mechanical engineering, electrical/electronics and computer control disciplines with an emphasis on the integrated approach. At end of the course, students should be able to define and describe clearly the term ‘mechatronics’ and its philosophy, relate the importance and contribution of mechatronic systems in industry, identify and describe clearly a mechatronic system and its main components, analyze and synthesize a basic mechatronic system and design simple mechatronic system.  Learning Outcomes: ..
