Fall 2025 Lecture Laboratory Upper Division
Fundamental concepts and applications of practical mechatronics are presented, with emphasis on product design, systems integration, and functional relationships between mechanical structure, sensor data, precision actuators, power resources, embedded microcontrollers, control logic, and drives. Students gain hands-on experience with mechatronics components and measurement equipment which is applied in a team-based design-build mechatronics system project.
Learning Outcomes1Describe the design and operation of mechatronics.
2Demonstrate input/output characteristics of microcontroller and its interfacing.
3Create a mechatronic system solution to a given problem.
4Explain programming and interfacing issues involved in the design of mechatronic system.
