Lectures are intended to provide the student withfoundational concepts in mechatronics and practical familiarity with common elements making upMechatronic systems. Laboratory experiments are designed to give the student hands-on experiencewith components and measurement equipment used in the design of Mechatronic products. Termproject gives students a chance to work in teams and apply their acquired skills to design and build afully functional Mechatronics system, including mechanical systems, sensors, actuators, ICs, andprogramming.

Students should spend at least 4 hours each week outside of class for reviewing the course materials, doing homework, and read the lab manuals before the lab. Many students who do poorly in ME 106 appear to do so because they do not devote enough time.2. Homework, to be assigned each Thursday, should be handed in at the BEGINNING of next Thursday class unless otherwise announced. Your two lowest HW grades will be dropped when calculate your final grade. No late HW will be accepted.3. Lab reports must be completed individually, although 2 or 3 students may work together in each lab.The lab reports should be turned in to the lab TA at the beginning of the next lab. 4. No exams will be made up unless a valid excuse in writing is provided. The instructor reserves the right to substitute the missed exam grade in other means. 5. In the solution of a problem, state any assumptions you are making, show all important steps in a neat and organized manner, and enclose the answers in a rectangular box along with the correct physical units.6. Obey the safety and other rules in the lab. Course Goals1. To understand the basic elements underlying mechatronic systems: analog electronics, digitalelectronics, semiconductor electronics, sensors, actuators, and microcontrollers.2. To know how to interface electronmechanical systems to microcontrollers.3. To gain hands-on experience with commonly used electronic test and measurementinstrumentation.4. To improve written communication skills through laboratory and project reports.5. To gain practical experience in applying knowledge gained in the course through a hands-onproject.Student Learning ObjectivesBy the end of the course, students will be able to1. Explain the concept and characteristics of a signal source.2. Select and configure operational amplifier circuits to achieve desired interfacing requirementsbetween a signal source and a downstream device such as a microcontroller or date acquisitionsystem.3. Design and analyze the performance of RC low-pass and high-pass filter circuits.4. Conduct the basic operation of bipolar and MOS field-effect transistors and can design withthem to activate solenoids, relays, motors, etc. from signal sources.5. Explain the input/output characteristics of digital logic devices and design a logic circuit toaccomplish a given task.6. Determine the torque and speed requirements for a given motion control application and selectan appropriate motor.7. Explain the basic structure of a microcontroller.8. Explain the operational principles and the construction of electromagnetic actuators. 9. Write a program to perform digital input/output from a microcontroller port, to drive the analog-to-digital (A/D) converter and the digital-to-analog (D/A) converter, etc.Academic Integrity Students are expected to maintain high ethical standards in all matters pertaining to the course,including, but not limited to, examinations, homework, course assignments, presentations,
