MCEN-4115 (3) Mechantronics and Robotics I

Focuses on design and construction of microprocessor-controlled electro-mechanical systems. Lectures review critical circuit topics, introduce microprocessor architecture and programming, discuss sensor and actuator component selection, robotic systems, and design strategies for complex, multi-system devices. Lab work reinforces lectures and allows hands-on experience with robotic design. Students must design and build an autonomous robotic device. Project expenses may be incurred ($50 maximum). Prereqs., ECEN 3010 or equivalent and GEEN 1300 or equivalent. Same as MCEN 5115. Prerequisites: Restricted to students with 87-180 credits (Senior, Fifth Year Senior) Mechanical Engineering (MCEN) majors or Mechanical Engineering Concurrent Degree (C-MCEN) majors only.
