MECHANICAL ENGINEERING ELECTIVE – MECHATRONICS

Catalog description

An introductory level course in mechatronic systems, with emphasis in the practical implementation of actuators and sensors through microcontroller programming. The course material covers topics of electronics, mechanisms, analog and digital sensors, and electromechanical devices. All exercises are hands-on in nature and involve the building of mechatronic devices to accomplish particular tasks. No previous knowledge of programming is required. ( 3 credits) MECH 442 MECHANICAL ENGINEERING OPTIONAL ELECTIVE – FUNDAMENTALS OF ENGINEERING EXAM PREP This course is a one credit lecture reviewing all undergraduate engineering topics. The lecture prepares senior students for the FE exam, or Engineer -In-Training exam. Topics include all Mechanical Engineering courses, as well as Chemistry, Physics, Ethics, and Economics. A brief discussion on engineering drawing and design graphics is given. Prerequisite: Senior Standing or Permission from Instructor.
