MEC E 460 - Design Project I

4.5 units (fi 8)(FIRST, 2-1S-4)

Part 1 of the Capstone Design Project. Working in teams, students will undertake a feasibility study and detailed design of a project which requires students to exercise creative ability, to make assumptions and decisions based on synthesis of technical knowledge, and in general, devise new designs, rather than analyse existing ones, and test prototypes for performance and durability. Prerequisite: MEC E 360, Corequisite: ENG M 401.

MEC E 300 - Mechanical Measurements

3.5 units (fi 8)(EITH/SP/SU, 3-1S-0)

Characterization and behavior of measuring systems. Statistics and analysis of measurement data; measurement techniques applied to fundamental mechanical engineering phenomena. Prerequisites: CIV E 270, ECE 209, STAT 235. Corequisite: MEC E 330 or MEC E 331.

MEC E 651 - Modern Robotics: Analysis and Control

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

Introduction to modern robotics including mobile robots, arm manipulators, aerial drones, ground and space autonomous vehicles. Kinematic and dynamic models for modern robots. Linear and nonlinear control theory overview with applications to modern robots.
