MCT-1010 - Introduction to Mechatronics* (3)

Prerequisite: MTH 0994  or  MTH 0970 or MTH 1011
Co-requisite: ELT 1010 or EGR 1100  or ELT 1015

Mechatronics is the integration of mechanisms, electronics, and computer control.   Students learn the basic operational principles of DC motors, servomechanisms, and stepper motors and how to control them using a microcontroller and sensors. A hands-on approach is used to build motor control circuits and program a microcontroller. The course culminates with students working in teams to build and program a mechatronic system (in the form of a robot) to accomplish a given task.
