Applied Mechatronics

Undergraduate

emphasizes the integration of core technologies on which mechatronic designs are based. Topics include modelling and controller design of systems with servo actuators (servo motors, valves, hydraulic actuators) and motion feedback sensors, microcontroller technology and analog and digital interfacing circuit design for motion control (relays, timers, PWM control electronics, interrupts, data communication protocols). These mechatronic design competencies are reinforced in this course through system level mechatronic design case studies, lab exercises, and computer-based project exercises.
