ME 405 - Mechatronics System Design

Course Cross-listed with ME 505
3 credit(s)
Principles of transducers and sensors and how to interface them with a process in a computer environment. Discussions about types of transducers and different sensors include operating principles, modeling, design considerations, and applications. Computer interfacing work includes signal conversation, interface components, and real-time application of microcomputer systems to problems in manufacturing. Component integration and design considerations are addressed by case histories presented by the instructor. Student design projects involve problems from industry that require computer interfacing and experimental techniques. Topics include principles of transducers and sensors, modeling and simulation of physical systems, signal processing, and computer interfacing using case studies.
Prerequisite(s): ECE 255 (minimum grade of C-) and senior standing, or permission of instructor.
Laboratory fee.
