Abstract: Today, mainly products of modern technology consist of both hardware and software components, integrated into monolithic entities that perform different macro functions useful for improving the quality of human life. The production of these products is enabled by the deep integration and interaction of various core technologies such as mechanic technology, electrical/electronic technology, and information technology, currently termed mechatronic technology. The trends of integration and interaction of various core technologies and processes, as a unique model of mechatronic technology, leads to further development, creating thus more possibilities for its contribution to improving the quality of human life. The proper integration and interaction of all these disciplines can be done only with a new approach to mechatronic technology, based on the principle of the synergistic effect. Mechatronics technology is an open field in continuous development that transcends the limits of crossdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary knowledge and the continuous growth of interest for modern products and processes imposes the development of mechatronic technology through transdisciplinary knowledge approach, opening new development perspectives and the same time more benefits to fulfill of the human life needs. In other words, the transdisciplinary knowledge approach is more successful than an interdisciplinary approach to creating new knowledge from constitutive disciplines of mechatronic technology and working jointly to solve problems of human life. The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of mechatronic technology in the context of a transdisciplinary knowledge approach, based on the review of literature data and experience from work as teachers of materials and production technology in mechatronics. From the research done in this paper, it is concluded that the development of mechatronic technology through passing from an interdisciplinary to a transdisciplinary knowledge approach helps to meet and improve more closely human life needs that will be emerged in the 21st century.
