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.
