Practice Education in Company “Mechatoronics Studied by Case and Practice”

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation develops and is producing a lot of mechatronics products such as the FA equipment, in-vehicle equipment, the elevator, the industrial machinerys, and information devices. The one to be called total engineering that unites the specialized field like mechatoronics, the control, the actuator, the sensor, and the simulation, etc. is necessary for designing and manufacturing these products. We decided to press independence to a young mechatoronics engineer in total to development and the designer with a different specialized field. As a result, we planned the mechatoronics course that integrated a lot of technical fields more than before for five days for the young mechatoronics engineer, and began in fiscal year 2007.
