Well, this may not be an animation, but it is a pretty darn good online text covering introductory electrical engineering concepts.\n\nhttp://www.ibiblio.org/obp/electricCircuits/

A solenoid is an electromechanical device that will generate a limited motion when it is energized.  It consists of an electromagnet (coil of wire) and pin/bar/plate that is ferrous and can be attracted by magnetic force.  The pin is then connected to whatever device that needs to be acted upon mechanically and usually has a spring on it to return it back to its original position when the solenoid is de-energized.\n\nSolenoids are usually found controlling valves, but can be used elsewhere as well.  Perhaps the most common solenoid that you will come in contact with is those used to actuate the power door locks in a car.  That is a dual-acting solenoid in which there are two coils, one to unlock the door and another to lock the door.

A control system is a device or set of devices that manage the behavior of other devices.A control system is an interconnection of components connected or related in such a manner as to command, direct, or regulate itself or another system.\n\nThere are two common types of controllers, with many variations and combinations: logic controls, and feedback or linear controls. There is also fuzzy logic, which attempts to combine the easy design of logic with the real-world utility of feedback controls.

First of all ur area of interest is most important. Computer and electronics field require highly analytical brain, where as mechanical requires innovative brain.\n                           Although in terms of opportunity and growth I'll rank different stream as:\n1. Computer Science\n2.Electrical and Electronics\n3.Mechanical(including production, industrial, aerospace etc)\n4.Chemical\n5.Civil

"any mechanical or electrical device that transmits or modifies energy to perform or as sist in the performance of human tasks" \n\nthe fact that volatage is converted when passing "through" a transformer qualifies it as a machine.

Industrial engineering is the engineering discipline that concerns the design, development, improvement, implementation and evaluation of integrated systems of people, knowledge, equipment, energy, material and process. Industrial engineering draws upon the principles and methods of engineering analysis and synthesis, as well as mathematics, physical and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems. Industrial engineers work to eliminate wastes of time, money, materials, energy and other resources.

A robot is a mechanical device that can perform preprogrammed physical tasks. A robot may act under the direct control of a human (eg. the robotic arm of the space shuttle) or autonomously under the control of a pre-programmed computer. Robots may be used to perform tasks that are too dangerous or difficult for humans to implement directly (e.g. the space shuttle arm) or may be used to automate repetitive tasks that can be performed more cheaply by a robot than by the employment of a human (e.g. automobile production; doctor).\n\nThe word robot is also used to describe an intelligent mechanical device ( machine ) in the form of a human. This form of robot (culturally referred to as androids) is common in science fiction stories. However, such robots are yet to become common-place in reality and development is yet required in the field of artificial intelligence before they approach the robots of sci-fi.\n\nFinally, bots are named after the word robot because they perform mundane, repetitive tasks.\n\n\n\nSO.....\n\nRobots will not take over

Mechantronics Engineering is the combination of electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.  I took a mechatronics class in college and it was pretty cool.  We designed and built robots that were programmed to hit hockey pucks through a goal.  Also for my senior design project we used our mechatronics knowledge to design an autonomous vaccum cleaner (early version of the Roomba).

(m)\n\nArtificial intelligence (also known as machine intelligence and often abbreviated as AI) is intelligence exhibited by any manufactured (i.e. ) system. The term is often applied to general purpose computers and also in the field of scientific investigation into the theory and practical application of AI. \n\nAccording to the American Heritage Dictionary, robotics is the science or study of the technology associated with the design, fabrication, theory, and application of robots. Czech writer Karel Capek introduced the word "Robot" in his play "R.U.R" (Rossuum's Universal Robots) in 1921. "Robot" in Czech comes from the word "robota", meaning "compulsory labor." \n\nFuzzy logic is an extension of Boolean logic dealing with the concept of partial truth. Whereas classical logic holds that everything can be expressed in binary terms (0 or 1, black or white, yes or no), fuzzy logic replaces boolean truth values with degrees of truth.
