-
JEM 180 - Introduction to Mechatronics Laboratory (2)
This course introduces students to the mechatronic engineering discipline as a synergistic combination of mechanical and electrical engineering, computer science, and control and information technology. Fundamental concepts in mechatronics engineering and design are introduced including analog and digital electronics, serial communication, sensors, actuators, motors, microcontrollers, and microcontroller interfacing to electromechanical systems. This is a “hands-on” course; all concepts will be introduced in an interactive lab/lecture environment. Two design projects are required with ample opportunity for self-guided exploration and creativity. Pre- or corequisite: JEM 123. Spring.

JEM 360 - Advanced Mechatronic Design Laboratory (2)
This is a hands-on lecture-lab course focused on the design of microcontroller-based systems that interact with their environment and communicate over the Internet, the quintessential thing on the Internet of Things (IoT). We will pay particular attention to robotic things. This course has two primary objectives: (1) to provide an understanding of design strategy, and (2) to provide an understanding of technology used in creating IoT things. Prerequisites: JEM 180, ECE 209 and junior standing in the major. Pre- or corequisite: ECE 306. Fall.
