MICROCONTROLLER APPLICATONS

Credit Hours: 3 · Undergraduate Upper-Level

This class covers the usage of microcontrollers in a laboratory setting. We will start with basic electronics and, in the lab component, design, program, and build systems utilizing widely-available microcontrollers (e.g. Arduino, Raspberry Pi). Units in motion control, sensors (light, temperature, humidity, UV/Vis absorbance), and actuation (pneumatics, gears, and motors) will provide students with functional knowledge to design and prototype their own experimental systems for laboratory-scale automation. Instructor Permission Required. Graduate/Undergraduate Equivalency: BIOE 521 . Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for BIOE 421 if student has credit for BIOE 521 .
