Mechatronic System Design and Project

Undergraduate

This course will introduce concepts to integrate mechatronic components such as mechanical, electronic, optical and computer programming. Basic concepts and fundamental principles in mechatronic system-based design for automation, packaging and other applications will be reviewed. Students will develop the knowledge and skills necessary to adopt an interdisciplinary approach to mechatronic system design. The hands-on laboratory activities will assist in developing the skills in designing and troubleshooting integrated mechatronic systems. Students will be organized into teams of three or four students, and each team will be proposing, conceptualizing, designing, building and demonstrating a significant hands-on mechatronic project. Through this course and team project the students will be prepared for the final Capstone Mechatronics.
