MECHATRONICS PROPOSAL

INTRODUCTION
All technological processes in the industry are controlled. Control systems are
formed of the basic devices. Most products are made up of independent electronic
and mechanical components. Mechatronics is defined as the synergistic combination
of precision mechanical, electronic, control, and systems engineering, in the design
of products and manufacturing processes.
Mechatronics responds to industry’s increasing demand for engineers who are able
to work across the boundaries of narrow engineering disciplines, to identify and use
the proper combination of technologies for optimum solutions to today’s increasingly
challenging engineering problems.
Mechatronics covers a wide range of application areas including consumer product
design, instrumentation, manufacturing methods, motion control systems, computer
integration, process and device control, integration of functionality with embedded
microprocessor control, and the design of machines, devices and systems
possessing a degree of computer-based intelligence.
Robotic manipulators, aircraft simulators, electronic traction control systems,
adaptive suspensions, landing gears, air-conditioners under fuzzy logic control,
automated diagnostic systems, micro electromechanical systems (MEMS),
consumer products such as VCRs, driverless vehicles are all examples of
mechatronic systems.
These systems depend on the integration of mechanical, control, and computer
systems in order to meet demanding specifications, introduce ‘intelligence’ in
mechanical hardware, add versatility and maintainability, and reduce cost.
Competitiveness requires devices or processes that are increasingly reliable,
versatile, accurate, feature-rich, and at the same time inexpensive. Subject of
“Mechatronic equipment” provides the basic knowledge about elements of
mechatronic system, such as transformers, electric motors, sensors, strategy of
design of control systems, modeling of mechatronic elements and systems.

 Streaming Video Platforms For Remote Learning In
Mechatronics

OVERVIEW
Online learning has made education more accessible to students around the world.
The value of online learning has come to light in some tough situations, such as the
COVID-19 outbreak and other natural disasters that force campuses to close down.

Live streaming, in particular, is a very useful technology for distant learning. Video
allows for real-time interaction and a “classroom-like” feel. Recording lectures also
gives professors the ability to save and upload the videos for students to playback if
they missed the session or need to go back and rewatch part of the lesson.

OBJECTIVE
Provide a user friendly environment to provide knowledge and give every one
a chance to learn.
Interact with computer aided learning.
Increase productivity in the classroom.
Targets various intelligence and real learning.
Resources for teaching aids and Formative assessment.
Innovative teaching-learning procedure and Introducing Abstract Concepts.
Create a new dimension of learning skills in the Malaysian Skills
Provide skills based training for employment or entrepreneurial skills
provide opportunities for trainees to obtain gainful employment as skilled
employees or entrepreneurs

BENEFIT FOR INDUSTRY
People are always looking for opportunities to grow. Online training allows
employees to quickly get up to speed on new processes. One major complaint
about traditional training methods is that the time consuming nature of the
programs takes away from valuable time that could have been spent on other
work. With training management systems, employees can participate in their
online courses at any time—including at home or during down time at work—
so learning doesn’t have to conflict with other important or time-sensitive job
tasks. Online training platforms also allow employees to revisit key information
right when they need it.

One of the main advantages of e-learning is that employees have the ability to
participate in online courses from anywhere with an internet connection.

Companies get the opportunity to create fun and engaging training courses
through the use of videos, interactive slides, and even games. These
intriguing courses lead to better results by helping employees retain more of
the information learned.

Helps companies create a better, more effective training experience for their
employees, at a lower cost. When employees become more excited about
training, their engagement leads to their entire work, and when engagement is
spread throughout the department, the bottom line is affected.

Automation in the industrial workplace provides the advantages of improving

productivity and quality while reducing errors and waste, increasing safety,
and adding flexibility to the manufacturing process. In the end, industrial
automation yields increased safety, reliability, and profitability
