MAE 3783

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

Mechatronics sits at the intersection of mechanical and electrical engineering. Many modern mechanical systems (e.g. vehicles) includes embedded electronics and microcontrollers. This course introduces students to mechatronic systems with a hands-on focus on circuits that interact with the world via sensors and actuators. Students will learn the underlying theory behind circuit behavior along with extensive circuit prototyping and debugging. The course will culminate in the design, fabrication, and programming of a mechatronic system such as a mobile robot or device for home/office automation.


Prerequisites CS 1110/CS 1112 or equivalent programming experience, MATH 2930 and PHYS 2213.

Enrollment Priority Enrollment limited to: Non M.E. majors, and junior standing.
