Adaptation and Implementation of Intelligent Systems Course and Lab

越来越多的工程师被要求具备处理复杂的集成系统的能力，这些系统通常包括机械、热力、电子元件以及微处理器控制。与许多本科工程专业的情况一样，俄亥俄北方大学（ONU）的学生目前接触此类系统的机会有限。ONU正在与圣母大学（University of Notre Dame， ND）的一名教员合作，改编该校最近开发的一门研究生水平的智能系统课程，并将其作为ONU的本科课程实施。在这门课程中，学生将学习如何建模和控制各种复杂系统，包括课堂讲授和多学科的动手实验项目。本课程是为完成控制系统课程的机械和电气工程专业的学生设计的。作为课程的一部分，ONU学生将实现一种算法来控制ND的一个实验系统。同样，新泽西大学的学生也在做一个类似的项目来控制ONU的一个系统。

Multidisciplinary-Engineering (99)Engineers are increasingly required to have the ability to work with complex, integrated systems, which often include mechanical, thermal, and electrical components, as well as microprocessor control. As is the case in many undergraduate engineering programs, students at Ohio Northern University (ONU) currently have limited exposure to such systems. ONU is working with a faculty member at the University of Notre Dame (ND) to adapt a graduate-level Intelligent Systems course recently developed at ND, and implement it as an undergraduate course at ONU. In this course, consisting of classroom lectures and hands-on, multidisciplinary laboratory projects, students learn to model and control a variety of complex systems. This course is designed for both mechanical and electrical engineering students who have completed a controls systems course. As part of the course, ONU students are implementing an algorithm to control an experimental system at ND. Likewise, ND students are doing a similar project to control a system at ONU.
