ENGINEERING-MECHATRONICS - EGM

EGM 180Introduction to Mechatronics Laboratory2(1-3-0) S
The objective of this course is to introduce students to the mechatronic engineering discipline as a synergistic combination of mechanical and electrical engineering, computer science, control and information technology. Foundational concepts in mechatronics are addressed including analog and digital electonics, sensors, actuators, microprocessors, and microprocessor interfacing to electromechanical systems through hands on laboratory exercises.Offered only at UNCA


EGM 360Advanced Mechatronics Design Laboratory1(0-3-0) F
Preq: EGM 180
An introduction to the design and construction of microprocessor-controlled electromechanical systems, this laboratory course builds on fundamental mechatronics concepts. The course is project and design oriented to provide hands on working knowledge of real time software, real time programming, computer interfacing, mechanical design fabrication and control system design and the integration of these areas.For EGM students only; offered only at UNCA


EGM 482Senior Design Project in Mechatronics Engineering4(2-6-0) S
Preq: EGM 360, senior standing
Applications of engineering and basic sciences to the total design of electro-mechanical systems. Consideration of the design process including feasibility study, preliminary design detail, cost effectiveness, along with the development and evaluation of a prototype accomplished through design-team activity. Complete written and oral engineering report required. For EGM students only; offered only at UNCA.
