ETM 2210 - Applied Mechatronics


Theory and application of physical principles associated with the use of mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical power in manufacturing. Includes gear trains, couplings, clutches, pumps, cylinders, compressors, and electric single and multiphase motors. Lab activities include working with gear systems, internal combustion engines, conveyors, motors, hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

Requisites: (PHYS 2001 or 2051 or 2054 and 2055) and Advanced Standing in ETM
Credit Hours: 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.

Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:
  • Students will be able to define force, friction, torque, rpm, work and power as they relate to industry and apply those formulas to solve problems in power transmission systems.
  • Students will be able to identify losses in a system given the efficiency of the components.
  • Students will be able to differentiate and describe mechanical systems, their components (gears, belts, chains, torque, bearings, couplings, brakes, transmissions, etc.), and operation principles.
  • Students will be able to describe hydraulic systems and their components (pumps, motors, valves, actuators, cylinders, etc.).
  • Students will be able to describe pneumatic systems and their components (pumps, motors, valves, actuators, cylinders, etc.)
  • Students will be able to explain and apply the fundamentals of DC circuits, controller programming, and electric motors.
  • Students will be able to explain the inter-relationships of various forms of energy in producing useful products.
  • Students will be able to demonstrate competence in applying engineering fundamentals on technical problem solving.
  • Students will be able to demonstrate ability to present technical topics orally, in writing, and graphically.
