Welcome to the Mechatronics, Informatics and Control Group (MICG) newsletter. The remit is to support and inform those within the Institution who are interested in the activities of the Group.

The MICG has two Working Groups, one in Mechatronics and the other covering Informatics and Control. In both cases, the scope of each Working Group is wide.

Whether you are from an academic or industrial background, the purpose of the newsletter is to keep you informed of the activities being organised by the MICG on your behalf and to respond in a positive manner to suggestions for the organisation of particular events which may be beneficial to yourself and others. In addition, the newsletter will react to any comments which will help to improve the transfer of knowledge and learning within the Institution as a whole. Indeed, it is hoped you will feel this to be a value added benefit to your IMechE membership and that you will avail yourself of this forum for the distribution of informed views.

Finally, remember in order to provide a first class service which is relevant to the requirements of our engineering sector and your individual professional development, we need to know what activities and events should be undertaken, so please provide us with feedback at micg@imeche.org.

Best wishes
Professor Robert Sutton (MICG Chairman)
