MAE 3783

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

Mechatronics sits at the intersection of mechanical and electrical engineering. Many modern mechanical systems (e.g. vehicles) includes embedded electronics and microcontrollers. This course introduces students to mechatronic systems with a hands-on focus on circuits that interact with the world via sensors and actuators. Students will learn the underlying theory behind circuit behavior along with extensive circuit prototyping and debugging. The course will culminate in the design, fabrication, and programming of a mechatronic system such as a mobile robot or device for home/office automation.


Prerequisites CS 1110 or CS 1112 or equivalent; MATH 2930; PHYS 2213.
