Mechatronics for Engineers I

Memo

With the advancement of digital computers and embedded systems engineering design and practice is evolving into a multidisciplinary field. A sound knowledge of mechatronics, a new field that deals with the integration of computers, electrical, mechanical, and controls engineering, is now a necessity rather than an advantage. This course provides a compact, intensive, hands-on introduction with engaging hands-on assignments and activities. An optional second course “Mechatronics for Engineers II” which will introduce the feedback control concepts, sampling, digital control, stability, and basics of data acquisition and automation. Upon enough interest at registration, the second course may be offered back-to-back. We will also provide a certificate to verify that you have completed the short course.
