Introduction to Mechatronics

MCH 1003

Introduction to mechatronic structures; fundamentals of microcontroller hardware and software, and applications; design and implementation of a simple moving robot.

Special Topics in Theoretical Mechatronics

MCH 4951

In this course, a rigorous theoretical foundation for the mechanics of robotic systems is provided, emphasizing the mathematical modeling, kinematics, and dynamics of articulated robots. It begins with concise reviews of Newtonian mechanics, linear algebra, and differential equations - then develops the theory of motion and control for serial-link robotic manipulators. Students learn to derive equations of motion, analyze configurations and velocities, and understand fundamental control principles—all from a first-principles, mathematical perspective, without hardware or implementation.

Materials and Manufacturing Processes

MCH 2016

Manufacturing is the act or action of processing or creating a product that may or may not be further processed subsequently. This course will expose you to the many diﬀerent manufacturing methods and materials used in industry today. The processing techniques of products made from metals, plastics, ceramics and composites will be discussed, such as casting, forming, extrusions, material removal, welding & advanced manufacturing methods.

Special Topics in Applied Mechatronics

MCH 4952

In this course, we will hone our engineering communication skills. Eﬀectively conveying the findings of any engineering work requires particular attention to both the science and art of the communication practice. Therefore, the students will learn how to represent themselves in all forms of engineering communications before graduation. The primary objective of this class is to provide you with the tools, practice, and guidance to eﬀectively communicate your engineering work to others. Engineering, unlike science, is a team eﬀort, and communicating the findings are as important as, if not more important than, the findings themselves. By the end of the term, students are expected to be proficient in communicating any engineering work in written form and orally.
