INTRODUCTION TO MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING

Undergraduate

This course covers fundamental skills associated with the development of computer-controlled intelligent systems and processes. Following a modern approach to mechanical engineering design, students will attempt synergistic integration of electronics, control systems, and mechanical components in a controlled laboratory environment. Students must demonstrate skills related to the selection, integration and/or calibration of sensors, actuators, signal conditioning, control algorithms, computer software, and hardware systems used to manage complexity, uncertainty, and communication in robotic systems. PREREQUISITES: Engineering 3710 must be completed or taken concurrently Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week
