Mechanical Engineering Education 

Mechanical Engineering is defined nowadays as a discipline
‘which involves the application of principles of physics,
design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems’.
Recently, mechanical engineering has also focused on some
cutting-edge subjects such as nanomechanics and nanotechnology,
mechatronics and robotics, computational mechanics, biomechanics,
alternative energies, as well as aspects related to sustainable
mechanical engineering.

This book covers mechanical engineering higher education with a
particular emphasis on quality assurance and the improvement of
academic institutions, mechatronics education and the transfer of
knowledge between university and industry.
