ME 3550 - Mechatronic Components


This course builds on basic circuits knowledge to develop competence with mechatronic components such as thermistors, thermocouples, strain gauges, Wheatstone bridges, photoresistors, and associated instrumentation amplification. Basic theory is integrated with hands-on implementation to aid students in understanding how mechatronic components function in mechanical systems.
