Course Overview

The Mechatronics online course is an eight-week elective training. It is structured by IIT Roorkee with NPTEL approval and run by MHRT. The course is spread over forty 30-minute lectures and will be conducted by Prof Pushparaj Mani Pathak. Candidates will be given practice assignments throughout the course, and the ones interested can also answer the exam for the certificate.

Mechatronics training discusses mechanical engineering’s synergistic integration. This concept involves designing and manufacturing industrial processes and products with intelligent computer control and electronics. The students will learn about implementing electronic control and intelligent control in mechanical systems, especially to enhance their design and performance. 

The Mechatronics certification syllabus includes mechanisms and actuators, signal conditioning, transducers and sensors, microcontrollers and microprocessors, system response and modeling, and design and mechatronics. The course has no prerequisites and is well-suited for UG or PG students in mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineering
