About this title

From the Back Cover

Understanding Electro-Mechanical Engineering: An Introduction to Mechatronics by Lawrence J. Kamm
A Volume in the IEEE Press Understanding Science & Technology Series
"An outstanding job in identifying and describing virtually all electro-mechanical devices in existence today." ―Dennis Lieu, University of California, Berkeley

"Thorough, detailed, and written at a comprehensible level." ―Seymour Kremen, Engineering Consultant

"Larry Kamm combines electrical and mechanical engineering to the highest degree of theoretical knowledge and practical experience." ―Jacob Rabinow, Consultant

Widely practiced, but rarely taught, the principles of electro-mechanical (mechatronic) devices and systems are of more relevance to electrical engineering than ever before. Electro-mechanical devices such as keyboards, printers, and hard and floppy disk drives are parts of every computer system. Microminiature electro-mechanical devices etched from silicon are now key transducers and motors. With a focus on electro-mechanical devices and systems in a variety of fields, this accessible introductory text brings you coverage of the full range of electro-mechanical devices used today. You’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of the design process and get valuable insights into good design practice. Understanding Electro-Mechanical Engineering will be of interest to anyone in need of a non-technical, interdisciplinary introduction to the thriving field of mechatronics.
