ENGR 486 Applied Systems Design and Industrial Automation (3)

Students learn to design and integrate mechanical systems, electrical systems, and control systems. The course focuses on systems engineering design and integration process, development of functional, physical, and operational architectures in the context of mechatronic systems. The course emphasizes engineering, functional modeling for design, and formulation and analysis of physical design alternatives followed by actual design and implementation of a mechatronic system that is multidisciplinary in nature, requiring the student teams to learn about various real world systems such as internet communications, navigation, robotics, creating a GUI, and transmitting and receiving data from sensors.
