ETME 4110 - Integrated Mechatronics Systems I

(3) Credit Hours

Introduction to the field of mechatronics as the intersection of the applied fields of mechanical, electrical, control, and computer technology. Study of mechanical, thermal, fluid, and electrical components in the dynamic modeling of mechatronic systems including linearization and response analysis. Signal conditioning and A/D conversion. Sensors and transducers. Laboratory experiences include interfacing of sensors and transducers to digital hardware, comparison of signal conditioning techniques, and experimental validation of dynamic models. Lecture 2 hours, laboratory 3 hours.Prerequisites: ETME 3110 or department head approval. Differential Course Fee will be assessed.
