SYEN 4372 - Mechatronics II

Three hours lecture. Three credit hours.

The combination of classical mechanical design, electronic analysis and design, control engineering, and computer science in the design of complex electric-mechanical-controlled systems. Commonly used sensors (potentiometers, accelerometers) and actuators (stepping motors, DC motors) are studied. Interfacing sensors and actuators to a microcomputer, discrete controller design, and real-time programming for control using the C programming language. There is a significant out-of-class project exercise associated with this course.

Prerequisites: SYEN 4335 or equivalent.
