MECH 2250 - Sensors & Actuators

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Description:

Fundamentals of Sensors and Actuators is required for Mechanical Engineering majors and is open to makers. Students learn to implement sensors and actuators into an internet of things (IoT) application through lectures and laboratory experiments. Topics include: data acquisition, signal conditioning, uncertainty analysis, sensors and measurements, actuator control, and IoT. The course culminates in a major design project that will be presented to the public at Engineering Design Day. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Solve engineering problems using fundamental principles of statistics. 2. Analyze signals using signal processing techniques such as Fourier transforms. 3. Write simple programs using principles of the Internet-of-Things (IoT). 4. Describe principles of acquiring measurements of physical phenomena, such as temperature, pressure, velocity, flow, and strain. Prerequisites: MECH 2210 (Grade C- or higher). Corequisites: MECH 2255 and (MATH 2250 or MATH 2280 or ENGR 2050). SP
