MECHATRONIC SYSTEM DESIGN (ME457/5547)

This elective 3-credit course will focus on mechatronics. It includes two and a half hours of in-class lectures per week for the first four weeks, followed by one day of in-class lectures and one day of in-class labs per week for the remainder of the course. The material covers a range of topics essential to the design of products that integrate mechanics, electronics, and software. Topics to be covered include digital logic, microcontrollers and their peripherals (e.g., ADCs, DACs), programming, sensing, signal conditioning (noise and filters), and motor control.

SENSING AND MEASUREMENT FUNDAMENTALS (ME401/5501)

This elective 3-credit course focuses on principles and practices of sensing illustrated by sensors that implement them. The course material covers essential topics related to sensors, including the materials, design, and fabrication of passive and active components used in sensor applications. Specific topics include physical sensors, time-of-flight sensors, fabrication techniques, and sensor-related technologies and applications, such as flexible electronics, soft sensors, and bioelectronics for continuous monitoring in healthcare.
