MEC-3326 Mechatronics Components and Instrumentation, 5 cr |
Person responsible
Lihong Yuan
Requirements
Accepted examination, exercises,written seminar work, Labview exeicises, and lab works.
Learning outcomes
Mechatronics is introduced as an integration of microprocessor control system,electrical system and mechanical system. The student will familiarize basic mechanisms, mechanical components, actuators and sensors used in mechatronic systems and also with controllers of mechatronic systems.After the course,students should be capable of finding components and building mechatronic systems. Students gain the fundamental knowledge to mechatronics and link multidisiple fields with more specialized skills.
