MECE 4320 Introduction to Mechatronics
This course will have 7 or 8 labs throughout the semester in the instrumentation lab, and during the weeks we have labs, the lectures are 50 minutes each (lectures are 1 hour and 15 minutes during weeks without lab). The main goal of this advanced professional preparation course is to introduce students to the analysis, design, and implementation of Mechatronic systems. Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary engineering area that comprises the integration of mechanical engineering, electronics, control systems, and computer science, which together contribute to design smart products and processes. PLCs, DC motors, stepper motors, H-bridges, PIC microcontrollers, and other topics will be covered in class and complementary experiments will be performed in the lab.
