Which is a better sub-division of Mechanical Design, Manufacturing and Automation program?

A master's degree in mechanical design, manufacturing and automation to answer

Mechanical design, manufacturing and automation specialization is mainly divided into mechanical and electronic engineering, mechanical manufacturing and automation, mechanical design and theory of three directions. Mechatronics engineering program is commonly known as mechatronics, is a kind of mechanical engineering and automation. Mechatronics engineering major including basic theoretical knowledge and mechanical design and manufacturing methods, computer hardware and software application capabilities, can undertake all kinds of electromechanical products and systems design, manufacturing, testing and development work. Mechatronics specialization can be subdivided into mechatronic systems (transmission and simulation technology, machines and devices, robot technology and its motion system, sensing and actuating element technology, measurement technology and image processing, etc.), micro, ultra-micro machinery (microsystems technology) (micro and precision instruments, functional groups, measurement technology for microsystems, etc.) and Biomechanics (robotics, biosystems, bionic actuation technology, control and design, control systems, etc.).

Mechanical Manufacturing and Automation is a postgraduate discipline that studies the theory of mechanical manufacturing, manufacturing technology, automated manufacturing systems and advanced manufacturing models. The discipline incorporates the latest developments in all related disciplines to give a fresh look to manufacturing technologies, manufacturing systems and manufacturing models. Mechanical manufacturing and its automation goal is clear, is the mechanical equipment and automation through the computer way to combine, the formation of a series of advanced manufacturing technology , including CAD (computer-aided design), CAM (computer-aided manufacturing), FMS (flexible manufacturing system) and so on, and ultimately the formation of large-scale computer-integrated manufacturing system ( CIMS), so that the traditional machining to get a qualitative leap.

Mechanical design and theory of mechanical engineering is the first level of mechanical engineering belongs to the secondary disciplines, is the functional analysis and synthesis of machinery and quantitative description and control of its performance of the basic technical disciplines, is to locate the mechanical engineering of the detailed workflow and the procedure of the summary of the simple theory of the summary of the introduction. The main research on a variety of mechanical, institutional and its parts of the working principle, motion and dynamic performance, strength and life, vibration and noise, friction, friction physics, relationship mechanics, wear and lubrication , mechanical innovation and design and modern design and calculation methods and other topics.

Learning knowledge, then, is certainly what they like to learn what is good, so that there is motivation. Of course, if there is no interest, want to see from the employment point of view, of course, is to choose the more related to the computer the better. But from the definition or from what I have seen and heard, these directions are similar, if it is a graduate student, in fact, as long as the door into the mechanical design, other fine direction mainly depends on the tutor, tutor has what direction, you are what direction. Even some of the mechanical categories in other majors in the teacher also engaged in related fine direction. So the key in the teacher, let's say mechanical and electronic engineering and mechanical design and theory have research robot.
