How Are Vision Statements Accomplished?
By:• Class lectures• Lab assignments• Oral presentations• Report writings• Collaborative learning (working in teams)
The George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical EngineeringThe George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering
Course Format
In-class lectures•Class meets 3 hours per week
•Lecturing is done by instructor
•Students can participate in lecturing (optional)
Laboratory Experience Electronic Exercises
•Done by individual student
• Takes each student about 1 hour per week to complete each one
•Three Electronic Exercises (1, 2 and 3) are assigned:
Overview of test equipment, soldering and RC filters
555 Timer and its applications
Stepper motor controller and driver

Course Format
Group Lab Exercises
• Done in groups of 3 students
• Each group spends about 3 hours every two weeks to complete
• Four group lab exercises are assigned per semester Interfacing host computer with MC9S12C32 and sequencing
light emitting diodes.Strain gage data acquisition using A/D conversion DC motor control using interrupts and pulse width modulation
(real-time control)Programmable logic controller (PLC)
Note: Each lab assignment is demonstrated; and only two lab exercises require report

TYPICAL STUDENTS PROJECTS in ME 8843
• ME 8843 is advanced mechatronics course It is project based Can be taken by students who have completed either ME 4447 or ME
6405 (Introduction to Mechatronics) Some undergraduate students with high GPAs can be allowed to
register for ME 6405 Currently ME 4447 and ME 6405 are taught together, but students who
registered for ME 6405 are required to do more in class
