MANE 4520 - Mechatronics


The synergistic combination of mechanical engineering, electronics, control engineering, and computer science in the design process. The key areas of mechatronics studied in depth are control sensors and actuators, interfacing sensors and actuators to a microcomputer, discrete controller design, and real-time programming for control using the C programming language. The unifying theme for this heavily laboratory-based course is the integration of the key areas into a successful mechatronic design.

When Offered: Fall and spring terms annually.



Cross Listed: ECSE 4090  Mechatronics. Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and the cross-listed course course.
