ETS2680C Mechatronics (AS)
Prerequisites: CET2127C, ETS2520C, ETS2530C (with a grade of C or higher)
This course provides the student with knowledge of mechatronic systems. Topics include microcontroller and programmable logic controller (PLC) programming and interfacing, data acquisition, mechatronic control architectures, and mechatronic systems in advanced manufacturing. Laboratory exercises will consist of experiments with microcontrollers, sensors, actuators, data acquisition hardware and software, as well as putting together a mechatronic system to accomplish small manufacturing tasks.
