ICT Application in Mechatronics Education


Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is an increasingly essential part of engineering education for today and the future. In the world today, engineering industry has experienced substantive changes brought about by this new technology. As a result, developments in education follow the rate of changes of the industry. Therefore ICT has been introduced in education as well.

Past and current results found that ICT in education was not famous in the old days, but today, throughout the world almost every corner we can see the implementation of ICT. Same goes to education today, students get to learn about ICT in their studies and are given chances to apply their ICT skills throughout their education period. As a result, engineering education has experienced substantive changes brought about by this new technology. Likewise in Mechatronics Engineering education, many courses requires ICT because in Mechatronics Engineering it requires knowledge of electronics, mechanics and software. Students will learn about electromechanical that are electronics and mechanical subjects for example Programmable Logic Control (PLC).
