Syllabus for 2023

Prerequisite: ME333: Introduction to Mechatronics - we are picking up where this class left off

This is an advanced class in mechatronic systems prototyping, open to graduate and undergraduate students. In this course you will learn how to design, solder, and debug a printed circuit board (PCB), learn advanced digital communication protocols like SPI and I2C, create physical prototypes with a laser cutter and 3d printer, and advanced signal processing. The course will be hosted on Canvas, Github, and Youtube. An assignment or demo will likely be due in every class. Throughout the course we will build a project involving an IMU and LCD, communication between microcontrollers, reading data from a camera, and building a small mobile robot.

ME433 is not an open-ended quarter-long project as it has been in previous years. If you would like to pursue a project, consider an ME399 or ME499 Independent Study (which will be very successful after gaining the skills learned in ME433.)
