Adaptation and Implementation of Intelligent Systems Course and Lab

多学科工程（99）工程师越来越需要有能力与复杂的，集成的系统，其中往往包括机械，热和电气元件，以及微处理器控制工作。 与许多本科工程课程的情况一样，俄亥俄州北方大学（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（ND）的一名教师合作，以适应ND最近开发的研究生水平的智能系统课程，并将其作为ONU的本科课程。 在这门课程中，包括课堂讲座和动手，多学科实验室项目，学生学习建模和控制各种复杂的系统。 本课程专为完成控制系统课程的机械和电气工程学生设计。 作为课程的一部分，ONU学生正在实现一种算法来控制ND的实验系统。 同样，ND的学生也在做一个类似的项目来控制ONU的系统。

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.
