This is the Library Report for the proposed Mechatronics Program to be offered at the SFU Surrey Campus. This program has an anticipated start date of September 2007 with an estimated enrollment of 50 students/year.
Courses in the program are as follows:
ENSC 182: Mechatronics Design I
ENSC 226: Electronic Circuits I
ENSC 227: Electric and Electronic Circuits II
ENSC 231: Engineering Materials
ENSC 281: Statics and Strength of Materials
ENSC 282: Kinematics and Dynamics
ENSC 283: Introduction to Fluid Mechanics
ENSC 311: The Business of Engineering I
ENSC 312: The Business of Engineering II
ENSC 329: Introduction to Digital Logic
ENSC 331: Introduction to MEMS
ENSC 332: Microprocessors and Interfacing
ENSC 381: Systems Modeling and Simulation
ENSC 382: Machine Design
ENSC 384: Mechatronics Design II
ENSC 441: Capstone Design Project I
ENSC 442: Capstone Design Project II
ENSC 451: Real-Time and Embedded Systems
ENSC 484: Industrial Control Systems
These courses are assessed in this report as a program, not as individual courses.
IEEE/IEE Electronic Library (IEEE Xplore), Web of Science, Applied Science and Technology Index, INSPEC, ACM digital library, and a variety of other multidisciplinary databases all provided by current library licenses, will be useful for locating resources for these courses. No additional bibliographic tools are needed.
The following are examples of journals that will support this program currently available from the SFU library:
Acta mechanica
International journal of mechanical sciences
Journal of dynamic systems, measurement, and control
Journal of intelligent & robotic systems
Journal of microelectromechanical systems
Journal of mechanical design
Mechanism and machine theory
Mechatronics : mechanics, electronics, control
Probabilistic engineering mechanics
As Mechatronics is new to SFU, several new journal titles will be required to support the program. What follows are suggestions only. Actual title lists will be complied in consultation with faculty.
Advances in Applied Mechanics $192
Journal of engineering mechanics $1,207
Mechanics Based Design of Structures and Machines: an international journal $2,011
Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics $699
Ongoing cost for serials: $3,000

The creation of this program at Surrey will necessitate the addition of new subject headings to the Surrey profile with Blackwell's, our major book wholesaler. It is recommended that the following subject headings be turned on to books:
661610 mechatronics
661614 machine design and testing
Annually, these subject headings will generate approximately 30 titles/year.
The following subject headings should be turned on to forms:
571002 mechanics
573075 solid state physics
577030 semiconductor physics
61302540 real-time data processing
66027000 applied mechanics
66027200 engineering statics & dynamics
66028815 control engineering
661602 mechanical engineering
66306485 electrical circuits
66323920 semiconductors
66323930 transistors
66323950 transducers
6632965 amplifiers
664402 materials science
66440402 mechanical properties of materials - general
66440450 strength of materials
664428 thin films
The subject headings above are recommended for this program. As more detailed course proposals / syllabi are available, this list may be revised. Selections will be made forms generated by these subject headings as well as the books that come in on approval. Seventy five (75) books/year will purchased to support the program. 75 x average book price of $110 = $8,250.
Ongoing monograph costs: $8,252
