What is Mechatronics?Mechatronics is the

synergistic combination of

precision mechanical

engineering, electroniccontrol and systems thinking

in the design of products and

manufacturing processes.

Vision Statements

Teach our students to learn to design and build electro-mechanicalsystems, and intelligent machines and products

Teach them to be able to function in environment that

fosters interdisciplinary activities

Prepare them for industrial positions

Prepare them to succeed as researchers in graduate schools

and research laboratories

Course Format

In-class lectures

Class meets 3 hours per week

Lecturing is done by instructor

Students can participate in lecturing (optional)

Laboratory Experience

Electronic Exercises

Done by individual student

Takes each student about 1 hour per week to complete each one

Three Electronic Exercises (1, 2 and 3) are assigned:

Overview of test equipment, soldering and RC filters

555 Timer and its applications

Stepper motor controller and driver


7/36


Course Format

Group Lab Exercises

Done in groups of 3 students Each group spends about 3 hours every two weeks to

complete

Four group lab exercises are assigned per semester
