Mechatronics - the integration of electrical, mechanical and
computing engineering - symbolizes the evolution of engineering more than
practically any other field. Due to its
integrated engineering nature, mechatronics requires engineers to be very heads
up about the products and systems they design and, in the process, collaborate
with engineering experts in different domains. To achieve long-term
mechatronics success, however, these expert engineers have to become more
knowledgeable about the other engineering fields with which they must interact.
To keep up with these fast-paced design challenges,
engineers need a comprehensive, reliable source for mechatronics information. That source can be found at http://mechzone.designnews.com.
Designed to address the needs of engineers engaged with
electronics, control systems, automation and software, Mechatronics Zone covers everything
from the exciting cross-discipline projects design engineers are involved with
down to the nitty-gritty how-to information.
From news and blogs to videos and in-depth tutorials, Mechatronics Zone is designed to
deliver the integrated engineering information you seek.
A new battery design, which replaces lithium with abundant and low-cost elemental sulfur, is still in its nascent stages but shows real promise for giving batteries more energy potential.
PTC will offer a virtual desktop environment for its Creo product design applications, potentially freeing engineers to run them from remote desktops on a variety of operating systems and mobile devices.
The push to achieving more intelligent, integrated manufacturing is putting a strong focus on networking and connectivity as key enabling technologies.
Now that solar and wind harvesting technologies are a thriving market, researchers are seeking other environmentally related energy sources for which they can create harvesting devices.

Early in my career, I worked as a draftsman and remember the days of drawing on vellum with numbered pencils and Mylar with plastic lead. This was a fun experience in the sense that I ...
I've been using workstations for more than 10 years and love finding ways to get more performance from my system. With demanding professional applications that require more power each ...
A lasting memory from my first job as an engineer in an auto assembly plant is standing on hard concrete at six in the morning, vending-machine coffee clutched in hand, listening to ...
For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
