ME6601J – Mechatronic System Design


Instructors:

Chengbin Ma;Mo-Yuen Chow

Credits: 3 credits

Pre-requisites: VM360-Modeling, Analysis and Control of Dynamic Systems VM461-Automatic Control

Description:

“Mechatronic Systems Design” is the synergistic combination of mechanical disciplines, controls, electronics
and computers in the design of high-performance machines, equipment or processes. This course reviews the
principles of modeling, interface and signal conditions of motion sensors and actuators; modeling, analysis and
design of digital control systems; simulation and prototyping of real-time closed-loop computer control of
electromechanical systems. Hands-on design projects cover mechanical components and a wide range of
components, sensors and actuators, electric drives, signal conditioning circuits, modeling and simulation tools,
data acquisition hardware and software, and microprocessors.
