M.E.L.D. (Mechatronic Engineering Leadership in Deafness)
-
Welcome to M.E.L.D.
Our workshops provide hands-on learning that connects multidisciplinary engineering fields—electrical, mechanical, and computer engineering—through practical applications like 3D printing, CAD, and more. Whether you're an educator or a student, M.E.L.D. offers the tools and guidance to inspire the next generation of engineers.What is Mechatronics?
Mechatronics, also known as mechatronic engineering, is an interdisciplinary field that combines electrical and mechanical systems with robotics, electronics, computer science, telecommunications, and systems control. It focuses on the integration of these disciplines to develop and improve technology across various industries.
