MECH 423: Biomechatronics
Biomechatronics is the application of mechatronics principles and techniques to develop systems to measure and manipulate biological materials and phenomena. In contrast to traditional industrial mechatronic systems, biomechatronic systems often emphasize functional requirements such as mechanical compliancy, portability, disposability, minimal power consumption, cost-effectiveness, and usability. This class is intended to broaden the expertise of students in the mechatronics program to enable them to develop new, innovative biomechatronics systems. Instruction topics emphasize mechanical and electrical design concepts relevant to the development of practical systems and products.
MECH 368: Measurement and Instrumentation
Measurement is the conversion of physical parameters to data. Instrumentation is the automation of measurement. This capability is essential in all modern industrial systems and processes. MECH 368 covers fundamental topics required to develop modern measurement and instrumentation systems including sensors, signal conditioning, and digital readout. This class follows the electronics sections in MECH 220 and 224. Materials covered are designed to provide mechanical engineering students with the framework for future self-study in this area.
