What is Mechatronic Engineering?

Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of Mechanical engineering, Electronic engineering, Computer engineering, Control engineering, and Systems Design engineering in order to design, and manufacture useful products. Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary engineering system design, that is to say it rejects splitting engineering into separate disciplines.



For most mechatronic systems, the main issue is no more how to implement a control system, but how to implement actuators and what is the energy source. Within the mechatronic field, mainly two technologies are used to produce the movement: the piezo-electric actuators and motors, or the electromagnetic actuators and motors. Maybe the most famous mechatronics systems are the well known camera autofocus system or camera anti-shake systems.
Concerning the energy sources, most of the applications use batteries. But a new trend is arriving and is the energy harvesting, allowing transforming into electricity mechanical energy from shock, vibration, or thermal energy from thermal variation, and so on.

Nanyang Polytechnic Canteens.

Well, there are basically three canteens and one fastfood outlet in Nanyang Polytechnic. They are north canteen, south canteen, koufu and Macdonald.


The often patronised canteens are the South canteen and Koufu. The reason behind it is that it's nearer to the lecture theatres and tutorial rooms that i always had lessons. Beside that, the lunch break is only an hour long and it's a time hassle to travel all the way to north canteen which is basically on the other side of the campus. By doing so, the lunch time will be cut short and not forgetting the long queues.


Something to be glad about is that, there is Macdonald that is located at the centre of the campus. This is something to be a lil happy about as it's much cheaper compare to the macdonald that is located outside the campus. Also, the price of the food inside the campus is also a lil cheaper compare to the food prices that is outside. This is definetly a plus point for the students and majority of the students doesn't have much money for themself.


So, if i would recommend a visitors that is coming to the campus, i would recommend them south canteen, koufu and Macdonald..  :D
