INTRODUCTION TO MECHATRONICS AND MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS provides comprehensive and accessible coverage of the evolving field of mechatronics for mechanical, electrical and aerospace engineering majors. The authors present a concise review of electrical circuits, solid-state devices, digital circuits, and motors- all of which are fundamental to understanding mechatronic systems. Mechatronics design considerations are presented throughout the text, and in "Design Example" features. The text's numerous illustrations, examples, class discussion items, and chapter questions & exercises provide an opportunity to understand and apply mechatronics concepts to actual problems encountered in engineering practice. This text has been tested over several years to ensure accuracy. A text web site is available at http://www.engr.colostate.edu/~dga/mechatronics/ and contains numerous supplemental resources.

(Alciatore & Histand's "Mechatronics & Measurement Systems...)
Alciatore & Histand's "Mechatronics & Measurement Systems Lab Exercises" provides students and professionals with a unique, hands-on resource for project and lab work for electromechanical systems. The 15 experiments included cover a range of subjects, from basic instrumentation and measurement to use of microcontrollers and accelerometers. A complete general equipment list is included; most of the components needed are affordable and easy to find. This affordable supplement is a perfect companion for Alciatore & Histand's bestselling textbook "Introduction to Mechatronics & Measurement Systems 2/e (2003)", or for books in measurement systems. It can also be used as a stand-alone resource for lab- and project-based courses.
