Description
Introduction to computer programming with applications to the analysis, modeling and control of engineering systems. Basic programming concepts including data types, operations, loops, conditionals, functions, plotting, input/output. Advanced tools including symbolic math, image processing, and graphical user interfaces. Basic components of mechatronic systems, including actuators, sensors, microcontrollers, and mechanisms. Introduction to C programming for microcontrollers. Team final project applies microcontroller programming to interface with real mechatronic system. Lab exercises: MATLAB programming, microcontroller programming, constructing/characterizing/controlling simple mechatronic components and systems.
