Mechatronics Project Implementation

Catalog description

Assembly and testing activities for the electro-mechanical design project. Mechatronics Project Implementation provides students with theoretical and practical experience associated with the integration of the various disciplines within the field of electromechanical engineering technology. Students working in teams will employ previously learned material to plan, construct, and test an integrated, electromechanical system. Projects will require a variety of electromechanical equipment, including such items as robots, machine vision systems, programmable logic controllers, personal computers, electric motors, CNC equipment, etc. Appropriate project documentation exercises, project presentations, progress reporting, budgeting and scheduling, and development of final project reports will be required elements of the course. This is a 2 credit/4 contact hour course.
