1 May substitute Physics Lab C1493 (3), C1494 (3), or W3081 (2).
2 ELEN E1201 (see semester VI) satisfies this requirement. However, MECE E1001 is strongly encouraged.
3 May substitute BIOL W2001 or higher.
understanding and performance evaluation
of a complete small steam power
generation system, a heat exchanger,
and a compressor. Part of the undergraduate
laboratory is a staffed machine
shop with machining tools such as standard
vertical milling machines, engine
and bench lathes, programmable surface
grinder, bandsaw, drill press, tool
grinders, and a power hacksaw. The
shop also has a tig welder.
A mechatronics laboratory affords
the opportunity for hands-on experience
with microcomputer-embedded control
of electromechanical systems. Facilities
for the construction and testing of analog
and digital electronic circuits aid the students
in learning the basic components
of the microcomputer architecture. The
laboratory is divided into work centers for
two-person student laboratory teams.
Each work center is equipped with several
power supplies (for low-power electronics
and higher power control), a
function generator, a multimeter, a protoboard
for building circuits, a microcomputer
circuit board (which includes the
microcomputer and peripheral components),
a microcomputer programmer,
and a personal computer that contains a
data acquisition board. The data acquisition
system serves as an oscilloscope,
additional function generator, and spectrum
analyzer for the student team. The
computer also contains a complete
microcomputer software development
system, including editor, assembler, simulator,
debugger, and C compiler. The
laboratory is also equipped with a
portable oscilloscope, an EPROM eraser
(to erase microcomputer programs from
the erasable chips), a logic probe, and
an analog filter bank that the student
teams share, as well as a stock of analog
and digital electronic components.
