Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

• To understand the basic principles of mechatronic systems.
• To have general knowledge about electronic, electric, hydraulic and pneumatic drive systems.
* To know sub-systems forming mechatronic systems, to establish connections between sub-systems.
* To know modeling methods of mechatronic systems.

Course Content:

This course will enable the students to learn the mechatronic systems used in industrial and domestic environments, developments and mechatronic products. These products and the topics discussed here are broad-based, reflecting the fact that your mechatronics are multi-disciplines that are not limited to a single specialty. It also includes small, single component systems as well as large systems that integrate components from different engineering disciplines. They will develop a methodology to apply the mechatronic design philosophy throughout a system and product development cycle. Different components are encouraged to identify the system as an interconnect module as an interconnect. Students will investigate mechatronic applications, taking into account the need for integration and the nature of mechatronic systems and products. Students know typical mechatronic components before the design and process stages of mechatronic systems and mechatronic products.
