MECH 0904418:  System Dynamics and Control [3]
This course demonstrates the basics of system dynamics and control theory. It starts with modeling of mechanical, electrical, thermal, fluidic, electromechanical, and hybrid systems. Time domain and frequency domain and utilized in both analysis and design. Stability of dynamical systems is investigated. Finally, controllers synthesis with applications are emphasized.

MECH 0904588:  Fluid Power Control [3]
Generation, transmission, and utilization of power in systems in which the working fluid is oil or air; analysis and evaluation of pumps, motors, valves, and other fluid components; dynamic analysis and control of fluid power systems. This course also provides hands-on experience for the students.

MECH *****:  Robotics [3]
This course demonstrates the basics of kinematics, dynamic, and control of mechanical manipulators and related mechatronic devices. In the first part special descriptions and transformations, manipulator kinematics, and inverse kinematics, differential kinematics, and singularities are covered. In the second part of the course derivation of dynamical equations of motion of multibody robot devices is carried out. Finally, trajectory generation and control of the joints is investigated.

MECH 0904580:  Modern Control Systems [3]
This course demonstrates the basics of modern control theory. It mainly deals with time domain analysis and design. Stability advance techniques based on Lyapunov stability theorems are fully demonstrated. Even though LTI systems are emphasized nonlinear systems are also introduced. Finally, and introduction to digital control theory is provided in this course.

MECH 0904536:  Design of Mechatronic Systems [3]
This course provides hands-on experience on embedded control systems. The course starts with an introduction to Microcontrollers technology, which is supported with weekly small projects on bread boards. The course demonstrates the stages the product might pass through, such as modeling, simulation, conceptual and detailed designs, sensors and actuators, and finally system integration using embedded controllers. Case study of complete machine design is provided as an exercise for the students. The students are asked to design a machine (starting from a conceptual design) at the end of the course and present their work.
