MER 421 - Mechatronics Design

Course Units: 1.0

This course emphasizes the fundamental technologies on which contemporary mechatronic designs are based; sensors and actuators, system dynamics and control, analog and digital electronics, microcontroller technology, interface electronics and real-time programming. The laboratory sessions focus on, hands-on design projects in which small teams of students configure, design, and implement a succession of mechatronic subsystems, leading to system integration in a final project. Prerequisite(s): MER 212, ECE 222 or ECE 225, and CSC 10X or equivalent.

ECE-22 or ECE-225 can be taken prior to MER-421 or concurrently. CC: SET
