Laboratory for a Second Course in Controls

9350865 Timmerman Mechatronics是制造工程科学的一个新领域，采用并行设计理念使用机械、电子和计算机组件。标准的机械工程课程缺乏微处理器、计算机接口和面向通信的编程领域的内容，这给需要掌握机电一体化以适应工业职业生涯的机械工程专业学生带来了特殊的挑战。这个项目为第二门控制课程建立了一个实验室。控制的第一门课程包括传统的经典控制学科，如拉普拉斯变换、频域设计和根轨迹设计；并介绍了工业控制实践所需的数学工具。本实验室为第二门控制课程，通过介绍在工厂车间实施控制概念所需的编程和接口技能来继续这门课程。该课程旨在填补学术工程知识和实用工程知识之间的空白，并为学生毕业后立即对行业有用做好准备。***

9350865 Timmerman Mechatronics is a new area of manufacturing engineering science where mechanical, electronic, and computer components are employed using a concurrent design philosophy. The lack of content in the standard Mechanical Engineering curriculum in the areas of microprocessors, computer interfaces, and communications oriented programming presents exceptional challenges to Mechanical Engineering students who need to master mechatronics for industrial careers. This project establishes a laboratory for a second course in controls. The first course in controls includes traditional classical controls subjects such as Laplace transforms, frequency domain design, and root locus design; and presents the mathematical tools needed for industrial control practice. This laboratory, for a second course in controls, continues this subject by presenting the programming and interfacing skills needed for the implementation of controls concepts on the factory floor. The class is intended to fill the gap between academic engineering knowledge and practical engineering knowledge, and to prepare the student to be of immediate use to industry upon graduation. ***
