ECE 5731 - Embedded Computing in Mechatronics

(4 credits)

This course will discuss the design and analysis of embedded system design with focus on mechatronic systems. Topics include study and development of electromechanical embedded systems in C using a modern microcontroller (e.g., Microchip PIC32), analog inputs/outputs, sensor/actuator interfaces, digital signal processing/filtering, embedded communication standards, PID feedback control, and brushless/stepper motor sizing and control. A final project will be approached in top-down fashion involving, system specification, functional partition, trade-off analysis, component design, integration, and performance evaluation.

Course revisions made after the Graduate Catalog publication date will be posted in the Graduate Catalog Addendum.
