Conference Objectives:

The conference aims to reveal advances in Mechatronics Technology through high quality research and idea exchanges in order to push forward this integrated engineering field and to establish an international fellowship network in Mechatronics. Mechatronics is an integrated engineering discipline and applies a holistic approach to the system design. IIUM is playing its part in establishing and promoting this integrated, multidisciplinary mechatronics approach in teaching, research, design and development of new products and systems. In light of this, the Faculty of Engineering, has organized its First International Conference of Mechatronics in February 2001 and had a tremendous success. Now, Faculty of Engineering (IIUM), IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, IEE (UK) Malaysian Center and Center for Engineering Excellence (CEE) Faculty of Engineering, International Islamic University Malaysia are jointly calling for the Second International Conference on Mechatronics to give an opportunity for various scientists and engineers with common interest in Mechatronics come together and exchange the ideas and views in solving problems within the field.
