Description
Mechatronics for Automation and Design explores the synergy between mechanics, electronics, sensors, actuators, and computer control in modern engineering systems. This course provides a holistic view of how intelligent systems are designed, modeled, and implemented across various industries. You’ll start with core topics such as electromechanical systems, transducers, signal conditioning, and data acquisition. Then, you’ll learn about microcontrollers and embedded programming using platforms like Arduino or STM32, integrating them into real-time control applications. The course emphasizes system modeling, digital control, actuator dynamics, and HMI (Human-Machine Interface) development. Through project-based learning, students will create prototypes such as robotic arms, automated conveyors, or smart home devices. Case studies from the automotive, aerospace, and industrial automation sectors help contextualize theoretical knowledge in real-world challenges. You’ll also explore safety standards, system integration, and diagnostics. By the end, you’ll be able to design and program intelligent automation systems—an essential skill in Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing.
