I am very excited be teaching MEGR 3171: Mechatronics I during the upcoming fall semester. This is a great new course that offers an important introduction to the interdisciplinary field of mechatronics, which combines mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering principles.
Mechatronics I focuses on the foundational concepts necessary for understanding and designing integrated engineering systems. Students will be introduced to:
- Sensors and Actuators: Exploring how these components enable systems to interact with their environment.
- Microcontrollers and Programming: Gaining an understanding of the control elements within mechatronic systems.
- System Modeling and Control: Learning basic principles for system analysis and behavior management.
- Fundamental Circuit Concepts: Reviewing essential electrical principles relevant to system integration.
This course is a fantastic opportunity to gain practical skills that are highly sought after in today’s advanced industries. My approach emphasizes problem-solving and real-world applications, preparing you for success whether you’re heading into industry or continuing your academic journey.
