MEEG 43543 - (was 4335) Mechatronics I

Three hours lecture. Three hours laboratory per week. Three credit hours.

Was MEEG 4335. The combination of classical mechanical design, electronic analysis and design, control engineering, and computer programming in the design of complex electric-mechanical-controlled systems. Commonly used sensors (Encoders, potentiometers, accelerometers) and actuators (stepping motors, DC motors) are studied. Interfacing sensors and actuators to a microcontroller, state-space, and discrete controller design. Introduction to real-time programming Dual listed in the Graduate Catalog as MEEG 53543 (was MEEG 5335).

Prerequisites: MATH 31263 and MATH 32263 or equivalent.
