INTRODUCTION TO MECHATRONICS AND MEASUREMENT<br />
SYSTEMS provides comprehensive and accessible coverage of the<br />
evolving field of mechatronics for mechanical, electrical and aerospace<br />
engineering majors. The authors present a concise review of electrical<br />
circuits, solid-state devices, digital circuits, and motors- all of which<br />
are fundamental to understanding mechatronic systems.<br />
Mechatronics design considerations are presented throughout the text,<br />
and in “Design Example” features. The text’s numerous illustrations,<br />
examples, class discussion items, and chapter questions & exercises<br />
provide an opportunity to understand and apply mechatronics concepts<br />
to actual problems encountered in engineering practice. This<br />
text has been tested over several years to ensure accuracy.<br />
A text web site is available at http://www.engr.colostate.edu/~dga/mechatronics/<br />
and contains numerous supplemental resources.<br />
