Collaborative Project: Integration of Modeling and Control of Smart Actuators for Nano/Bio Technology into Mechanical Engineering Curriculum

机械工程（56）本项目正在开发一个关于智能执行器的模块，该模块将包含在机械工程本科课程的三个不同课程中。该模块通过一系列特别设计的讲座和实验室实验来解决基于智能执行器的系统的建模、控制和设计的重要方面。通过这种方式，为学生提供纳米/生物相关专业领域的知识，理解和技能。该项目以私人机构的研究专长为基础，利用他们在这一领域的经验和合作努力。pi负责设计、实施和评估初级机械系统与控制课程、高级机电一体化课程和顶点设计课程中的模块，每门课程都在不同的机构进行。完成该模块后，学生可以了解压电陶瓷建模/控制的基本概念，将知识转移到解决更高抽象层次的工程问题，并识别纳米/生物技术中的机械概念。

Mechanical Engineering (56)This project is developing a module on smart actuators for inclusion into three different courses within the mechanical engineering undergraduate curriculum. The module is addressing the important aspects of modeling, control and design of smart actuator-based systems through a collection of specially designed lectures and laboratory experiments. In this way, the students are being provided the knowledge, understanding and skills for nano-/bio related professional fields. The project is building on the research expertise of the PIs, leveraging their experiences and collaborative efforts in this area. The PIs are designing, implementing and assessing the modules which are being included in a junior level course on mechanical systems and controls, a senior level mechatronics course and a capstone design course, each course at a different institution. After completing the module, the students can understand the fundamental concepts of modeling/control of piezoactuators, transfer the knowledge to solve engineering problems at higher levels of abstraction and recognize mechanical concepts in nano/bio technologies.
