Book excerpt: The ever-evolving landscape of automotive engineering demands a deep understanding of various interdisciplinary concepts, where traditional mechanical systems are now intricately linked with electronic and computational elements. The field of mechatronics, which synergistically combines mechanics, electronics, control engineering, and computer science, has become indispensable in the design, development, and optimization of modern automotive systems. This book, "Mechatronics in Automotive Engineering: Concepts and Techniques," aims to provide an in-depth exploration of the fundamental and advanced principles that drive the integration of mechatronics in the automotive industry. Authored by Dr. A.K. Darwins, Dr. Lalu Gladson Robin, and Dr. M. Edwin Sahayaraj from the Department of Automobile Engineering at NICHE University, Kanyakumari, this book is a culmination of years of academic research, practical insights, and teaching experience. Our motivation for writing this book stems from the need to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in automotive mechatronics. We have structured the content to cater to both students and professionals in the field, offering clear explanations of key concepts, supported by real-world examples and case studies. Each chapter is designed to build on the previous one, leading the reader through a logical progression of topics ranging from the basics of mechatronic systems to the latest advancements in automotive technology. In addition to core mechatronic principles, this book delves into specific areas such as Electronic Engine Management Systems, Integrated Actuating and Feedback Devices, and the role of mechatronics in enhancing vehicle safety, performance, and efficiency. The inclusion of questions, summaries, and suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter is intended to reinforce learning and encourage deeper exploration of the subject matter. We believe that this book will serve as a valuable resource for students pursuing degrees in automotive engineering, as well as for engineers and technicians seeking to update their knowledge in the rapidly changing field of automotive mechatronics. It is our hope that the insights and knowledge shared within these pages will inspire and equip the next generation of automotive engineers to innovate and excel in their careers. We would like to express our gratitude to NICHE University for providing us with the platform and support to undertake this project. We are also thankful to our colleagues, students, and industry professionals whose feedback and contributions have been instrumental in shaping the content of this book.
