Mechatronics and Instrumentation for Chemical Engineers

Catalog description

Introduction to electromechanical systems and instrumentation used in Chemical Engineering. Fundamentals of transducers, sensors and actuators; interfacing and controlling hardware with software (Labview & Matlab programming); analog and digital circuits; hands-on electrical and mechanical design, prototyping, and construction. Students produce a final computer-controlled electromechanical project of their own design, or in conjunction with a ChE-faculty research laboratory.
