"Mechatronics Galaxy" a New Concept for Developing Education in Engineering

This paper initiates the launch and the integration of a new scientific concept: "Mechatronics Galaxy", a support of industrial research for European sustainable and strategic development. This new concept is based on achievement and development of evolutionary and integrative-synergistic concepts regarding micro-nanomechatronics engineering, micro-nanoelectronics engineering and micro-nanoIT engineering for: spatial, temporal and functional integration; intelligent adaptive behaviour based on perception, self-learning, self-diagnostics and systemic reconfiguration; adequate flexibility of software and hardware structures; predictive development of micro-nano-mechatronics structures and of the intelligent computerized applicability with high added value; simultaneous mix-integrative design of micro-nano-products, micro-nano-systems and micro-nano-technologies; a strategy of technological impact in economy, industry, society and education. Thus, the new concept "Mechatronics Galaxy" creates and develops micro-nano-mechatronics engineering, based on fundamental and applied techniques: micro-nano-mechatronics, micro-nano-robotics, micro-nano-integronics, micro-nano-sensoristics, micro-nano-actuators, micro-nano-processing and intelligent micro-nano-manufacturing.
