ME 106 Fundamentals of Mechatronics The Plan
Warmup problem Recap the concept of
Mechatronics Term Project overview Comments on this week’s lab Review of basic
concepts in electronics
Objectives Diagram the conceptual areas
that comprise mechatronics Describe what the term project
is about and what steps you need to take
Articulate fundamental concepts in electronics in terms that non-engineers could understand
Use electrical concepts to solve for quantities in the voltage divider
Warmup Introduce yourself to someone you don’t know Share a favorite hobby other thing they like to do Work together to succinctly describe what
mechatronics is all about Write out your description, and be ready to
share with the class Take 2 minutes!
What is Mechatronics? The integration of:
Sensors Actuators Intelligence
with a system toproduce: More capable, versatile,
and robust performance
