MECH-9001Mechanical Components and Electrical Drives
More Information

This micro-credential covers the basics of mechanical components and electrical drives in a complex mechatronic system. Students will learn the basic functions and physical properties of mechanical compo­nents and electrical drives (AC and DC). They will also learn about the flow of energy through mechanical systems and examine materials, lubrication requirements, and surface properties to increase efficiency and to reduce wear and tear. By utilizing techni­cal documentation and analyzing the interworkings of the complete system, students will learn and apply troubleshoot­ing strategies to identify, localize, and correct malfunctions. Preventive maintenance of mechani­cal elements and electrical drives as well as safety issues within the system will be discussed.
