DYNAMICS OF MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING – A FUTURE VISION

Abstract

Mechatronics is relatively a new field in Pakistan and there is a lot of misconception about it. Being a new engineering discipline in Pakistan, Mechatronics has to face many risks for its successful establishment and growth. Every discipline owes its evolution and progress to the stakeholders, government, universities and experts. The research work is related to the general view of Mechatronics engineering education, the evolution of Mechatronics engineering in Pakistan and the status of Mechatronics in the industries as well as society of Pakistan. A survey based approach and the help of Cronbach Alpha for assessing reliability of the collected data are being used in the research. There is an urging need of Mechatronics in industry to meet the changing demands. Emphasis is laid on highly demanding career prospects in Mechatronics. Mechatronics is a design philosophy that encourages engineers to concurrently integrate conventional core industries and modern processing-developing industries. This work also discusses and analyzes the development studies on current and future state of mechatronics, development of Mechatronics Curriculum and the future development trend of Mechatronics Engineering in Pakistan.
