3.00 Credits
Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering, control theory, computer science, and electronics to manage complexity, uncertainty, and communication in engineered systems. Mechatronics is an exciting, "high-tech," and inherently multidisciplinaryapplication, whose underlying concepts can be understood by practicing engineers of diverse academic backgrounds. The typical knowledgebase for the design and operation of mechatronic systems comprise of dynamic system modeling and analysis, decision and control theory, sensor and signal conditioning, actuators and power electronics, hardware interfacing, rapid control prototyping, and embedded computing. This course will provide a balanced introduction to the theory, simulation, hardware, and software elements of mechatronics. The exposure to computer hardware/software for measurement and control will introduce the student to modern tools such as data acquisition and control board microcontrollers, LabVIEW, Matlab, etc. Finally, planned project activities will enable the students to integrate measurement, control, computer hardware, and software components to develop prototype mechatronic systems. Prerequisite: MA 2132, PH 2004
