Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field of engineering that combines mechanical engineering, electronics, computer science, and control engineering to design and create intelligent systems and products. It focuses on the integration of mechanical systems with electrical and digital components to develop smart, automated, and efficient solutions. This course is designed to introduce engineering students to the field of mechatronics and its applications in robotics, automotive systems, manufacturing & automation, medical devices, consumer electronics, and aerospace and defense. The students complete various projects, including a major design project. Through these projects and other activities, the students learn about the development of smart, efficient, and adaptive systems that improve automation, precision, and functionality in various industries, teamwork, oral presentation skills, and effective writing. Students are assessed through performance on projects, exams, quizzes, homework, written reports, and oral presentations.
If you have not taken EG 141, another programming class will substitute as a prerequisite.
