Introduction to Mechatronics and Measurement Systems by David Alciatore. This book is designed to serve as a text for a modern instrumentation and measurements course, a hybrid electrical and mechanical engineering course replacing traditional circuits and instrumentation courses, a stand-alone mechatronics course, or the first course in a mechatronics sequence. The second option, the hybrid course, provides an opportunity to reduce the number of credit hours in a typical mechanical engineering curriculum. The purpose of a course in mechatronics is to provide a focused interdisciplinary experience for undergraduates that encompasses important elements from traditional courses as well as contemporary developments in electronics and computer control. These elements include measurement theory, electronic circuits, computer interfacing, sensors, actuators, and the design, analysis, and synthesis of mechatronic systems.
