MEE550 Mechatronics

[3–0, 3 cr.]

Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary engineering area that comprises the integration of mechanical engineering, electronics, control systems, and computer science, which together contribute to design smart products and processes. This course will cover principles and interfacing techniques of several sensors and actuators; rapid prototyping of closed-loop computer controlled electromechanical systems; analysis, design, and implementation of Mechatronic systems. Basic electronics, DC motors, stepper motors, H-bridges, various sensors, signal conditioning, PIC microcontrollers, PLCs, and others topics will be covered in class lectures and lab assignments.

Pre-requisite: MEE391 Instrumentation and Measurements.
