Abstract :
Social network websites became part of our daily internet use. Nowadays every organization has pages on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. They use their pages to communicate with costumers and users. Social networks can also be used to establish professional networks or associations. Mechatronics is a multidiscipline engineering program that represents combination of Mechanical engineering, Electronic engineering, Computer engineering, Software engineering, Control engineering, and Systems Design engineering. Mechatronics education programs started in Egypt a few years ago. In this paper, we present how Social Networks on the internet, especially Facebook, was used to establish an Egyptian Mechatronics Network that can represent the first step to form an Egyptian Mechatronics Association.
