The processes andproduction lines used to make these and many other products are also mechatronic in nature.The term “mechatronic” means that the product or production processinvolves a mechanical structure containing actuators( usually motors tomake things move), a microprocessor to control the overall operation of thesystem, sensors to allow the microprocessor to monitor the state of the system and the electronics to connect the other parts together.In the past, mechanical devices(think of a mechanical watch powered bya spring), computers(the old main frame computers calculating the payrollfor large companies) and electronics(a hi-fi amplifier or radio set) were designed by engineers who were experts in only one area.To design mechatronic products, an engineer must be familiar with mechanical engineering, computing, electronics and how these elements can besuccessfully combined.
These are the skills that the Monash mechatronicsengineering will teach you, along with knowledge of management and manufacturing processes.Mechatronic devices have many advantages over their older counterparts. They can be given improved functionality. They can be self-adjustingso that, although manufactured to wider tolerances( and hence cheaper tomake) they function better than the non-mechatronic equivalent.
The intelligent use of sensing allows mechatronic white goods such as clothes dryersto adjust their operation based on the dampness of the clothes. Washing machines can sense the amount of dirt in the washing load and vary their use ofwater and electricity to suit, and chemical sensors in microwave ovens canmonitor the smell of food to ensure that it is cooked perfectly.Mechatronics is at the cutting edge of the development of new products,devices and processes. Mechatronic engineers work in teams designing mechatronic products or upgrading existing devices by adding mechatronicelements to improve their performance. They are involved in the design,construction and running of the factory production lines and processes,where they use their skills in computers, microcontrollers, programming,95industrial sensors, hydraulic, pneumatic and electric drivers, design of mechanical structures and mechanism and knowledge of manufacturingprocesses.Graduates are equipped with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to design, build and operate the intelligent products and systems of today andtomorrow.
The applications for mechatronics engineering are virtually unlimited. The need for professionals in this rapidly growing discipline is increasing and graduates are in high demand, particularly in South-East Asia.There are also many research opportunities for mechatronics engineers innanotechnology, robotics, bioengineering and many other developing fields.Vocabulary1. electric jugs2. overall, adj.3. spring, n.4.

Read the textFACULTY OF RADIO ENGINEERINGAND ELECTRONICSIn the early 1950s, in Western Siberia there was a pressing need for competent radio engineers who could solve challenging research and engineeringproblems arising in designing new radio and electronic facilities. To meet theneeds, Novosibirsk Electrical Engineering Institute (now NSTU) started totrain students in radio engineering in October 1953. Later in 1955, the department of theoretical radio engineering was set up and since that time it hasbeen the centre of training radio engineers in Novosibirsk. During the fiveyears of its development the conditions for opening other radio engineeringdepartments were created. As a result, the department of antenna-feeder devices (now the department of radio physics), department of radio receivingand transmitting equipment and department of design and construction of radio electronic facilities branched off.The faculty was formed on the basis of the Radio Engineering, PhysicalEngineering and Electronic Engineering Faculties in October 1953.
One of98the advantages of this joining was to provide students with the opportunityto more precisely choose the area of specialization and the subarea he/shewants to explore in depth.Vocabulary1. pressing2. need3. facilities4. to set up5. development6.

Advantages of the faculty forming.Unit 2Before you read2.1. Answer the following questions1. What subjects are studied at your Faculty during the first two years?2. Why is a foreign language included into the curriculum?3.
What does B. Sc. (M. Sc.)stand for?4. What major subjects will your study later?2.2. Read the text.During the two years of study students mostly gain basic knowledge necessary for their further professional training and education. They study engineering subjects, including profound study of mathematics, and physicsand some humanities as well. A foreign language, preferably English, is alsoincluded into the curriculum. In their third and forth years students acquireprofessional knowledge and skills in the field chosen. Those who successfully complete their course work and pass the qualifying examination areawarded B.Sc.
(Bachelor of Science) degree in the appropriate field. Thegraduates from the B.Sc. program can continue their studies in the Engineer‟s or M.Sc. Programs (1.5 and 2 years correspondently).100The graduates are given fundamental training in physics, mathematics,radio engineering and electronics. They master the skills to work with up-todate research and technological equipment.The main directions of training at the faculty are as follows: radio engineering, design and technology of electronic facilities, optotechnology, nanotechnology etc.Vocabulary1. necessary2.
