MICROCONTROLLER APPLICATIONS

Credit Hours: 3 · Graduate

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. BIOE 521 students will be expected to complete a final research paper. Instructor Permission Required. Graduate/Undergraduate Equivalency: BIOE 421 . Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for BIOE 521 if student has credit for BIOE 421 .
