MANU-3032Mechatronic Systems Design and Implementation
In this course, students will leverage prior knowledge and experience to design and integrate industrial mechatronic systems used in automated production environments. Students will define system requirements, evaluate technical feasibility, and develop designs incorporating mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and control components. Emphasis is placed on subsystem integration, industrial network communication, and development of control solutions using programmable logic controller (PLC) and robotic programming for sequencing, input/output integration, and interaction with sensors and actuators. Students will produce technical documentation, perform testing and troubleshooting, and analyze system data to support reliability and maintenance strategies. Finally, students will analyze the return on investment and examine ethical, environmental, and societal impacts of mechatronic system implementation.
