Electronics
Electronics describes the domain of the electrical engineer. It is a broad field that covers everything involving the flow of electrons and electromagnetic fields. Printed circuit board design, microcontrollers, filters, wireless communication, even electrical motors all fall into this category.
A mechatronics engineer must be familiar with all of these areas; they provide a large pool of options for a design.
Introduction to Electricity
Electricity has surrounded humanity for all time yet is obscured from our day to day senses. It takes a keen mind to discover it.
Introduction to Magnets
For centuries magnets were studied as mere curiosities.
